The traffic lights I am not sure about - maybe someone will chime in and advise if this is a malfuction or they are not used on the Tamaqami sub.

Interesting video! Why are not traffic lights? Locomotives at the end of video too inactive? Happy New Year! All the best!

[JayJr2007]

@KHVEDOR Happy New Year to you as well. Yeah there are a few locomotives that appear to be collecting dust in that yard.

2 loco's on both trains for a four and 5 car consist ??

VIA hauls 7 or 8 car consist's with a single unit ! why can't ONR do the same ?

Ontario Northland pulled the plug on all the lights across the system 10years or so ago now... the only place were you will see lights are comming into engelhart from the north and south end

Great Shot Jason!! The Station is located at Mile 1.5 of the Temagami Subdivision just half a mile east of Laurier Woods lol. The ONR no longer uses signals on their lines. They used to use the ABS system ( Automatic Block Signal) but in 1993, they adopted the OCS system ( Occupancy Control System). So signalling is controlled via the radio for clearance now.Only 1 Block of signals still operate on the ONR System and that is at Mile 138 of the Temagami Subdivision in Englehart.
