Here are some screenshots I did form Maple Leaf Track's latest relese The Greater Toronto Area. This route is basicly the Government of Ontario Trains (or GO Trains) and Canadian National Railway. The shots I did were of Canadian National passnger trains and VIA trains using a combination of Valleypass public freeware and BLW payware trainsets (both Canadian National and VIA).

First up, the Canadian National passenger trains.

1. Here is Canadian National E9 1899 pulling the Super Continental from Toronto Union Station. This was the rival of Canadian Pacific's The Canadian.


2. Now leaving Hamilton, Ontario is a Canadian National passenger train led by F9 6533. This one would be taking passenger back to Toronto Union Station from the Buffalo New York/Niagara Falls area.


3. Now a passenger train with CN FPA4 6788 at the lead departs Aldershot, Ontario. This train is running passenger train from Winsor, Ontario on the Niagara Corridor.



Now the trains of VIA.

1. Back in downtown Toronto, VIA F9 6539 leads one of the transcontinental trains from Toronto Union Station. This would be an early version of the Canadian or Super Continental in the years after VIA statred operations.


2.Doing a short three car train from Lincolnville, Ontario, VIA FPA4 6767 would have the honors.


The next three shots are from Richmond Hill.

3. Here is another VIA FPA4 leading a long haul passenger train. This time it would be VIA 6785 at the lead end.


4.Now in the VIA colors, CN E9 1899 brings the VIA version of the Super Continental into downtown Toronto.


5. Now today's version of VIA's The Canadian finnishes this series of screnshots with VIA F40PH 6436 as lead locomotive. This would be more common today since VIA stop running the train on its original Canadian Pacific route.


I might do some more later. But for now, enjoy!

Thanks! Here are some more I did yesterday

This is CN FPA4 6788 again. But this time, it is in VIA colors. This go around, it is pulling a three car train out of Georgetown, Ontario. This train is made up from the VIA passenger set by BLW.


The next three are of two trains that came with the route. One is of a GO (Government of Ontario) Transit train and a Canadian National freight. Both are done by Maple Leaf Tracks.

The GO Transit Train.

1. Here is the GO train with F59PH 523 pulling its train on the morning commuter run from Barrie, Ontario to Toronto. Here is the train leaving Barrie.


2.Now thw same train with Bi-Level Cab Car 239 at the lead. This time, the train is doing the afternoon return run to Barrie from Toronto.


Here in MacMillian Yard, Canadian National SD70M-2 8005 leads a container train out of the yard.



Last, but not least, The Amtrak Maple Leaf leaving Toronto Union Station on its way to New York City. The train is made up od rooling stock made by North American Locomotive Works.

The MacMillian Yard screen shot really stands out against the grayish tones of the buildings. Nice!

And now, more screenshots that I just did today.

This series of scrrenshots were taken around Toronto Union Station.

Here is how Canadian National's Super Continental would look in the 1950s. CN F3A 9000 came from the 3D Trains Canadian National F Unit Pack (payware) and the cars are repaints of the Valleypass public freeware VIA cars.


Now an United Aircaft Turbo Train in two different liveries.
1. The Canadian National version.


2. The VIA version.


Both are available at Trainsim.

Now some modern VIA trains.

Here is VIA LRC Locomotive 6900 begining its run to Montreal, Qubeec. This train is made up of MLT payware cars from The Niagara Corridor Route and freeware items from Train-sim


Now two General Electric P42s VIA style.

1. VIA 902 with a Renasance Train. All are available at Train-Sim.


2. VIA 903 with some regular cars. Four of them are in different liveries while the last car is a HEP (Head End Power) coach. All are freware items from Ed's Trains public freeware, Valleypass public freeware, and Train-sim.



Now two versions of Canadian Pacific's The Canadian.

1. The 1955 version. This train is available at the Canadian Pacific web site.


2. The 1962 version. This would be the version right up to when VIA took over. This train is availabe at Train-sim.



I finish this set of screenshots with an odd looking train. This is AM Road 4070 leading the Silver Streak. It is really a Canadian Pacific train done up like the train in the 1976 movie. Toronto Union Station may have played the role of Kansas City since Amtrak refused to let 20th Century Fox use thier trains for this movie. Canadian Pacific was happy to repiant one train to the fictional Am Road scheme. Other than that, this train would be running on the Santa Fe Super Chief route. This train is available at Train-sim.



The last two take place in Burlington, Ontario with two different Budd RDC Trains.

1. Canadian National RDC4 6478 with a RDC1 , RDC2, RDC3 unit. This came from the BLW CN passenger set.


2. VIA RDC2 6205 with three RDC1 units. This one came from Valleypass public freeware.



That's all folks!

Thanks! It's been a while but here are some more I did some time ago.

1. Here is Canadian Pacific F7 1400 with the Royal Canadian Pacific departing Toronto Union Station.


2. Now we have Ontario Northland GP35 1802 pulline the Northlander on a snowy morning in Toronto.



Now for some steam in The Greater Toronto Area.

First, some Canadian Pacific engines with trains leaving at Toronto Union Station.

1. The Empress, Canadian Pacific Hudson 2816.


2. Canadian Pacific Royal Hudson 2860.


3. Canadian Pacific Selkirk 5930.



Last, but not least, Grand Trunk Western (now Ohio Central) Northern 6325 on a return run on the Canadian National Bala Subdivision at Richmond Hill on a Autum afternoon.
