Like it, a lot!

WOW, nice catch, I have Beta Video of this location, both fright and passenger action. A friend of mine shot the video, unknown date, but he went to this area quite often. He passed away some years ago, I did not get the Beta footage until after his death, so many questions are gone unanswered.

Maybe a lot of California fruit and vegetables headed for Toronto stores?

Nicely done. And very confusing for the thirtysomethings who only know CN 5500's as SD60F units.

Lovely; when the paint was shiny and the leaves were green. I'm going to guess that by now the trees have grown and choked the shot.

Mainline railways in North America seem to be limited to
the use of four digit numerals.
Hence those 5500 series locomotives are numbered elsewhere something else.
I keep thinking of CN 2000 series diesel locomotives as MLW six-axle power,
now the numbers being to something else.
At times like this, The Canadian Trackside Guide is a very helpful
addition to your library, one for train-watching;
one at home for reference.
