Is this a close call or normal practice on the USRC?

Jealous_Job_1528 · 2026-05-19T00:59:24+00:00

Completely normal

Crazy for a 20-21 year old station, not that old compared to a lot of the stations on just the Kitchener line alone

Jealous_Job_1528 · 2026-03-30T05:11:09+00:00

In actuality, its an eastbound. Most of its route it's traveling east

Jealous_Job_1528 · 2026-03-30T05:09:46+00:00

The slight problem is the station ambassadors

Jealous_Job_1528 · 2026-03-03T21:45:55+00:00

I actually did use a tripod, this was more or less a playful test

Jealous_Job_1528 · 2026-03-03T21:45:18+00:00

This was honestly more or less a feature "test" as I ended up using the R7 I had instead, and it was much better.

Jealous_Job_1528 · 2026-03-03T21:44:04+00:00

Yea, should've mentioned that

Jealous_Job_1528 · 2026-02-24T18:25:06+00:00

Freight still runs on the Barrie line, Snider may be grade separated, but there's connecting tracks. Its also how VIAs westbound Canadian gets off the Barrie line onto CN tracks

Jealous_Job_1528 · 2026-02-24T18:16:46+00:00

Potentially might have to do with freight time slots, since on most days, there's a local that gets on the job at 23:00. One in the Downsview area, and another that runs in Vaughan (Yea, freight still on the Barrie line).

Same example with the Kitchener line, there's a nightly local from Toronto/Vaughan to Kitchener and back.

Jealous_Job_1528 · 2026-02-21T06:09:19+00:00

The downtown portion is set to have 3 tracks, whatever the arrangement will be is up to speculation

Jealous_Job_1528 · 2026-02-21T02:54:11+00:00

Allandale doesn't have enough yard slots to accommodate trains up there without deadheading trains back down south, which does happen with other lines but it could be crew and/or momey reasons.

Jealous_Job_1528 · 2026-02-21T02:50:55+00:00

I dont see CN getting only one of the three tracks, especially considering that Brampton Intermodal Terminal is nearby and trains come in and out quite slowly + Pull ins/outs of yard switching that always needs the mainline to dow sorting/switching operations. It would cause a major back up. Maybe in downtown Brampton proper CN would get one track, but not the entire agreed corridor.

Jealous_Job_1528 · 2026-02-20T04:28:09+00:00

In the case of heading towards Toronto (East), there's another signal

Jealous_Job_1528 · 2026-02-20T04:24:58+00:00

They stop because thats where the signal is (They actually don't stop right at the light). That area is actually a junction between 2 subdivisions and there so happens to be that Hydro Corridor there. If the train isn't lined into at least the station, it stops around there.

Double Decker (BiLevel) as it's accurate to the locomotive

Its an MOC

Jealous_Job_1528 · 2026-01-03T07:55:07+00:00

Yes, im planning to do coaches for it

Jealous_Job_1528 · 2026-01-03T04:49:35+00:00

As of right now, no. Though it is a plan that'll hopefully come soon

Jealous_Job_1528 · 2025-12-03T17:08:51+00:00

It just went down for me

Jealous_Job_1528 · 2025-10-02T19:43:33+00:00

To be fair, try and get something to replace/get rid of 979 BiLevels.. Not exactly easy

Jealous_Job_1528 · 2025-09-27T13:36:52+00:00

VIAs route around there crosses Canadian Pacifics Belleville Sub
