Caption: Pre-double enders and MP40's of the present day, GO Transit ran certain Lakeshore corridor trains with twin F59's to better keep schedule on weekends. Some of those sets made it out on weekdays to: The first GMD F59PH built, 520, leads (or trails in this case) sister 531 as they shove Lakeshore line train 919 into Toronto's Union Station in the afternoon.
Crossing over nearby Yonge Street viaduct, the tracks below the power were used for TTR maintenance storage and were formerly the leads into the CP Express building/sheds to the east of the station (demolished around 2001 for the new GO bus terminal). Today that land and some surrounding has been sold off to a developer, the 3 tracks taken up, and another condo/office complex is under construction right next to the rails here.

Nice perspective Mr Dan!
