I got word the previous day that CN train L350 was to depart Hamilton early in the morning, heading for Pickering with a Schnabel car holding a transformer for the Nuclear Plant.

The nifty Schnabel car can move it's load from side to side to fit around obstacles it faces due to it's size being a D9R dimensional. This train took a while to get from the west of the GTA to the east, as he was given a speed restriction on his TGBO.

Accepting a medium to stop to move from the north to the southern-most track, L350 eases its way into Pickering at Liverpool Jct, where the York Sub meets the Kingston. RTC moved him over so he could access the Pickering spur a mile or so east.

A former CN Pointe-Ste. Charles van resides on the tailend of L350, mated to it's Schnabel car for years ahead as it trundles south to the plant.
