Bayview Junction, Hamilton, ON Canada 8-16-86 PT 2

Three days after my first visit to Bayview I took a second look.

In addition to the types of motive power seen in PT 1, there is a
GMDD FP9A, some monster MLW six-axle units and a couple
of Amtrak F40s sprinkled in for variety.

The two Amtrak trains are actually VIA/Amtrak joint operations, utilizing
Amtrak equipment. The first is the International, crossing over to the
Dundas Sub, en route to Chicago. The other one is the Maple Leaf
heading straight on the Grimsby Sub, bound for Grand Central Terminal
in New York via Niagara Falls, Buffalo, and Albany.

The International was discontinued in 2004. The Maple Leaf still runs,
but to Penn Station instead of GCT.

Nice video. Here we appreciate historic ALCO PA units hauling the passenger service conventional cars and also the recycled LRC trains. These trains are now hauled by GENESIS P42 units. We can also see the now gone BUDD Diesel Rail Cars. I would like to have been riding this locomitves and also their trains, but now I enjoy these historic scenes again and again.

Thanks so much for the video, I live about 5 miles north of here. I often railfan here, it isn't as good as it used to be but is still a popular railfan location in Canada.
