Caption: Sometimes, on rare occasions, being out on the North Toronto all day pays off. After the passage of 101, I noticed another westbound get lined out of Toronto Yard up to Davenport. Initially my thinking was that it would be the 2 GEs that had just come back from Oshawa, seeing as whichever power set is currently on the Oshawa turn also does the Spence turn. Even if it was the 2 mundane GE motors, I wasn’t gonna waste the evening light, so I posted up at Summerhill where I can frame a westbound nicely with the clock tower. Shortly after the train departed Kennedy I picked up some loose chatter over the scanner and was able to gather that they’d be making a run for Hornby. When ending the conversation with the RTC I was able to hear “7307 West, out.” nice and clearly. A few minutes pass and then around the bend comes 7307 solo in some sweet light as they haul both autoracks and tankers towards Hornby and eventually London.
