I'm was somewhat unfamiliar since I don't operate on that sub and it's beyond my normal operating area... the timetable on my EOM doesn't even give a freight speed On the Weston it now shows as VIA GO and UP with UP and GO having a 80 zone speed and via 75

I was actually working L545 the other night and noticed they put up a fence on the east side of the corridor where the Esso customer just south of Finch...

Yes but the trackage on there is now completely outdated... Actually as far as I know only the Lakeshore lines have above 90 mph speed limits... Stouffville if you count the section on the Kingston sub... even the GO sub has a maximum of around 60-80

I just double checked my current timetable and it is still 95 zone speed for the same mileage you gave. 50 mph for 36.4 to 36.9 and 30 mph for 36.9 to 39.3 On the Grimsby it's also the same as you stated with some 50-40 psos scattered around... I'm not super familiar with the Oakville/Grimsby...

The top speed on the Oakville Sub is 90 mph but on the Grimsby it's only 60 meaning that you can use a mp40 all you want on the Grimsby but the timetable speed is the limiting factor... On most Kitchener line train rides I've been on we barely hit 75 between stations..

My ETT literally says Metrolinx Guelph from mile 63 to 30... a foamer got upset at me cause i corrected them about calling the section near Acton the Metrolinx Guelph sub... i still see foamers calling it the CN Weston or CN Uxbridge.. the foamer proceeded to say "Railroaders are not essential...

Unfortunately quite a bit of foamers think that the railways only purpose is to entertain them... I have 10 unread messages from various foamers to my personal facebook asking me to stop sending GE ACs on the Halton, Kingston or Bala...

It was delayed 1hr plus so probably GO felt it was better to use busses than delay 150-200 passengers for an hour plus...

The cn 1501 track inspector went by there yesterday...

It was remembrance day so alot of people had the day off... usually the first 2 levels are full with 3rd being at 50% and spots being taken on outside

Pretty much the only reason nurse's make the sunshine list is if they do a crap ton of overtime... I still petition for sunshine lists to show hours worked... they would be very surprised.

The 96 budget cuts killed them along with the Guelph and Barrie extensions back then

Slightly off topic... but I do recall VIA using GO equipment to like London in the 90s due some shortage of lrc cars?

If you look at the pdf it's 4-5 mins earlier

GO15 up to Bramalea CN1 Bramalea to Silver Gexr1 silver to Sturm Cn1 Sturm to London

The only cn ocs territory in Southern Ontario is the hagersville sub CP has ocs territory west if Guelph Junction and north of Bolton

I think it's just used as a run around track as it's not in any ctc controlled location

The 10 mph between mile 63 and 65 was also raised to 30 mph. Kitchener station is Mile 62.7 while Stratford is Mile 88.5 so that's 26 miles. So if the remaining 16 miles can be increased to 60 we could see an additional 10-12 minutes savings... 30 minutes is not too bad...

Speaking of 60mph... Speeds have been raised to 60 mph between mile 76 and mile 86ish between Kitchener and Stratford allowing them to be 12 minutes earlier now

Timetable is 70 mph
