Before heading down to the harbour spur, I snap a few photos of my train with a pair of widecab GP38's sitting east of the Scott St. ladder on the TTR.

    I love these Michael..living along the Oakville sub filled with GO trains there’s not much to any freight action these days, barring the Suncor switch job at Clarkson. I can hear your train in the middle of the night and always wish I could catch you. One night I will! Keep em coming. And nicely shot too.

    Beautiful picture Michael, and love the way you have included the CN Tower and the new 3-aspect pot signals installed by Metrolinx. This train movement, often referred to as the “s..t job” because it delivered tank cars of chlorine to Toronto’s Ashbridge Bay Sewage Treatment plant , is now history. The rails of the Toronto Harbour Spur have been lifted across Commissioners St and a new post office single level building built on the right-of-way at south-west corner of Commissioners St & Leslie Ave. Rails have also been removed on the lead on the west side of Leslie St into the Sewage Treatment plant. Now, all chlorine used by the plant arrives by truck. There being no other customers on the spur line, it appears to be completely out of service. Thank you for so nicely recording history.
