Sometimes you get lucky and it's #TrainTrackTuesday and you get to the bridge just as a brand new #OntarioNorthland #Northlander train is passing by.

@jarek @tantramar Is this by the Lakeshore West in Toronto?

Love the video

@catzilla @tantramar Yes! Technically the track is the Oakville subdivision. GO's Lakeshore West trains run on it, and so do some VIA trains. It's at the Roncesvalles footbridge.

Another guy was there taking photos and told me it's one of the first moves of the new Siemens train for the Northlander. I think he said it's going up to North Bay today?

@jarek @catzilla Living in Atlantic Canada, where old VIA rolling stock is seemingly sent to die, my initial assumption was that this footage was from Europe. Then I saw the lazy-noodle on the ground at right. #CN
@tantramar @catzilla meanwhile over here in Ontario we're excited by three new trainsets for a once-a-day service
