CPKC trains and aerial views along Lake Superior at Marathon, Ontario, Canada ~ August 6, 2024
August 6, 2024 ~ Marathon, Ontario, Canada
I started my days off and was able to set up the tripod for four moves at Marathon catching a pair behind the house and some back to back westbound trains at Carden Cove. As the sun rises to a beautiful day we see a heavy 420 climb up the grade into Marathon finally tipping over and picking up some speed. Later in the morning I went to Carden Cove to catch three (118, 2421, and 113) getting some footage of the wests passing operating back to back. Once 2421 cleared the intermediate signal at mile 69.5 train 113 pulled away from Marathon. The approach signal to Marathon is just ahead at mile 66.3 for the 10 mile block between Coldwell and Marathon. After the double stacks on 113 pass we take to the sky and get a birds eye view of the surrounding landscape west of Marathon along the shores of Lake Superior.
Later in the evening train 112 makes its way down the main track at Marathon doing a good speed. After the mid train remote passes we again take to the skies to see the colourful containers whiz thru downtown Marathon and over Peninsula Road.
Pay close attention to the captions that will pop up containing the location, train id, and locomotives and you'll hear me chatting away!
Cheers!

    I used to be a technician with CN Telecommunications and in the mid 70s was based in Capreol. In my work I traveled extensively around the province and worked out of North Bay, Capreol, Hornepayne, Geraldton, Armstrong, Hearst, Kapuskasing, Guelph and Stratford. On one occasion, when I was in Geraldton, I had to drive to Hillsport. I drove on Hwy 11, past Long Lac and then took logging roads down through Caramat to Hillsport. Living and working up north was quite an experience and I did a lot of traveling on trains, often freights.

    the intro to this video is one of the best visuals I can remember ever seeing.. Amazing if it was edited in some way on your part. Black/White for the most part, but the colors of the train's cargo containers are eye-catching in ways I can't remember seeing before.... The buildings that do have some color, do so in a way so slight they are still a background, and add a texture-like depth similar to the way larger discolored , course pieces of gravel may add to beach pictures of mostly smooth sand.

    Some of these CN intermodals that you caught had WAY too many platforms - up to 187 - for the power they had on them. At Newtonville Road, the one with 2 units and 186 platforms was down to 30mph going up that grade. Yikes! A good rule of thumb that my dad used to use for such trains was a maximum of 25 cars for each 3000hp 6-axle unit that you had. Anything more than that was going to affect your ability to make your running time over the sub. The CPR had a self-imposed rule of no more than 60 autoracks for the three 3000hp 6-axle units on their 'Pacific Auto Train' (PAT) that ran daily from Toronto to Vancouver. Any more than 60 and they would supply a 4th unit to that train. That CN auto train had 101 racks for the 2 units - equivalent hp to 3 SD-40s. I feel sorry for these CN train crews working on these underpowered 'fast freights'!

    the RDC-2 would have been 6219 not 6215. 6215 was retired over 10 years ago and is now owned by the VHA and is stored at the VIA TMC in Toronto, also VIA 185 is not in anyway shape or form a CP train, it is not operated by CP and is not a CP train, not sure why you had it listed as a CP train.

    There are some really interesting views here. Two things that I spotted are that they are still using RDC's. Those are almost museum pieces. In the video, the first car was RDC-2 and the second was RDC-3. Passengers would not have that much baggage, and so they are moving some cargo as well. Second is that the intermodal trains run cross country. The fact that the trains run cross country does not mean that the containers do. Do they load and unload containers at intermediate points? The last night train seemed to be moving a light rail train somewhere.

    • @filipsimpson3720

      The budd cars are Via 185 / 186. Passengers would actually have more baggage as it makes whistle stops, for those canoeing, hiking, camping up north - see TVO tripping the 185. The light rail is a Toronto streetcar.
