Caption: First Heritage:CN 3115 begins the heritage unit journey on CN as it departs with one leading for the first time destined for Montreal. Heads up to you Montreal folks! It begins..... thanks to CN for the hard work with these, it's going to be a very interesting fall/winter for photographers across this continent. Hopefully some folks @ CN head office see this - our photographers are more than willing to send you guys some pictures :)

Photo notes: 50mm f/1.8 for that sweet sweet low light.... and it was still not easy.

    I am being told there was a BCOL D9 mid DPU. Mr Host, can you confirm or deny this claim?

    That would be a factual statement Isaac

    Great shot Stephen. Man, those colours are bright! It looks 376 is departing York 2 and you were on Jane St?
    I am more than pleased that CN finally did something to honour their past. I was extremely disappointed at their lame 100 stickers on the Evos. Kudos CN..keep them coming!

    Keele St Phil…..always a good spot

    Oh silly me. I meant to say Keele St. Many a time I have waved, honked or blown kisses at the fans on Keele St. It definitely is a good spot to get shots of trains departing, arriving or moving through the Snider bypass.

    EJ&E came south into Toronto on 114 in early January and went back north on 115 the same day.
