A series of CN 570, an as required Mac Yard - Oshawa turn. Usually gets older four axles and this day was no exception.

1 - light power arriving, CN 4768, 4713, and 7069.
2 - Power wyed in the yard, 570 lifting three yard tracks plus 13 cars on the south service track as CN 148 rolls by on the mainline.
3 - What was different is that instead of heading back to Mac Yard via the freight only York Sub, they headed downtown via the normally passenger only section of the Kingston Sub west of Liverpool Jct. This shot is at Scarborough Golf Club Rd, between Guildwood and Eglinton GO stations.
4 - Going away shot at Scarb Golf Club... into the sunset at mp322.

NS has been sending these monster eastbound lashups through Centralia over the past couple of months. Obviously they're power-balancing moves, as only the first two or three are "on". It's got to be caused by traffic on other lines given that our trains are mostly balanced between e/b and w/b. Fun, but curious.
