Caption: CN in Markham, a reunion 10 years in the making.
After the YDHR shut its doors for the final time, ONR wanted their GP9 back and the crew of CN L546 was tasked with retrieving it from Lincolnville. CN 9555 and CN 9450 run up the Metrolinx Uxbridge sub light power to grab it, marking the first CN units to pass the historical Markham train station in 10 years, as far as I can tell. In 2014, CN ran a few work trains on the Uxbridge but since, only GO and ONR 1603 have passed the station. It's the wee hours of May 26th, nearly 01h30, yet nearly 10 railfans are out chasing this rare movement.

Great catch…prives any time is train ti.e, at any time of the day or night! I haven’t been to Markham station in nearly 20 years. Last visit there was a siding when the GO platform (you’re likely standing on) is….when did this platform go in?
I’m not sure when the other platform went in.
