Canadian Railroads > Indycar Streets of Markham and Unionville GO station…

While watching practice today for the IndyCar Streets of Markham Ontario race, I noticed the Unionville GO Station could be seen with the line crossing over part of the circuit (at the hairpin turn).  In one view, two GO trains were seen in the station at the same time.  Is GO Transit running special trains for the event?

I don't know if they were "specials" but extra trains were operated.
The race course didn't cross any tracks.

Not at grade, but the circuit crossed under the double mains just north of the GO Unionville station, with the hairpin turn utilizing both side of Enterprise Boulevard there.

Hopefully more pics will be seen online in coming days, but there were quite a few trains pictured during the TV coverage of today's race. Here's one from a couple days ago from the Road & Track website.  And 2 more including a screenshot with MP40 621 in the background.
