Railpictures.ca - David Vincent Photo: Until service reductions due to COVID-19 began, it had been a decade or more since an F59 last ran on the Milton Line. With all lines except the Lakeshore running 6 car trains, the COVID-19 pandemic has created the opportunity to see some things that would not normally take place. Seeing as the City of Mississauga has installed signs on most of the bridges on the Galt Sub, and COVID-19 is ultimately the reason for the F59 being there, I figured it would be very appropriate to catch one passing the relevant signage. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography
