Construction of the GO East Rail Maintenance Facility progresses, with the west side railbeds partially installed,

as VIA #6401 leads the mid morning J train, #62 to Montreal and #52 to Ottawa (with 6434 ) , slowing for the Oshawa station stop,

and in the background the tail end of an auto parts / auto racks westbound exits the south service track powered by a CN 8889 / 2191 / 5442 combo: SD70M-2 / Dash 8-40 CW / SD60;

Noteworthy:

The GM Oshawa plant ceased production December 2019. There will be a return of auto parts/ racks action (whether CP may be involved n/k ) at the renewed GM facility: pickup production is targeted to begin in January 2022 with the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, including their heavy-duty variants.
