Canadian National
Rail Yard
On one of our trips to Toronto, we stumbled upon this Canadian
National Rail Yard. We sat there, outside the fence for about
20 minutes. Just our luck, 2 semi trucks drove through the gate,
we drove in to (don't tell anyone, haha). We were driving around
the yard for about an hour and a half before we were asked to
leave. We did get to see an entire 50 car train pushed over the
hump and roll into the staging yard, as well as the heavy repair
shop, engine shop, and car repair area! Here are a few of the
100+ pictures I took.......

An over view of the yard, my best estimates put it
at 1.5 miles in length and at least 3/4 mile wide! I have never
seen anything that big before
