Can you spot all four trains? As you can see in this photo, the plant at "stuart" is fully in service, GO trains are in fact going in and out of here nearly daily (Training? Testing? Revenue service has yet to begin..) Metrolinx announced the start of service for Thursday July 9. For those who don't live here - the Greater Toronto area is preparing for the Pan-Am Games which start in the next couple weeks and this is partially why some of these massive projects are occurring now - Union Pearson Express, this station, and much more. In particular, the platform for the station behind me is still unfinished and the station only 40% complete at best, and yet, in 6 days, service starts.... I am actually looking forward to being able to take advantage of the platform once service begins - should open up a couple different angles here 
So back to the photo at hand - I count myself lucky - a side by side is hard to get - 3049 was busy switching cars in the yard, ducking in and out at right for the 30 minutes leading up to 97's arrival.  Will I get a side by side? Just before Amtrak was to come, the fuel truck pulls up beside 3049 and the crew took the break while the engine was refuling. Count my lucky stars.. I seem to have a few lately. :) 
So as I asked - where's Waldo? Or better yet, post in comment where the other trains are. :)

  1. A Brandt truck pulling ballast hoppers doesn’t count! :)

  2. A trick question ;) Thanks for playing along.

  3. I see the Amtrak, the 3049, and the 4003. Is the fourth train the string of cars to the right of the signal bridge in the distance?
