As for Old Pottery Road, the area is under construction by Hydro One as they have been working on the new towers just south of the CP Rails, and views shown in Rudy's page above are not accessible at this point. I suspect that once completed, any good viewing access that existed to the CP line will no longer be there.
A collection of rail encounters during my runs in and around the Greater Toronto Area, and wherever else I may be. I grew up near the 'coal banks' in Sydney, N.S. and often played on the coal train cars. I'm also an avid runner having logged over 20,000 miles. Here I put them both together.

Another VIA Canadian vid
I was heading over to Bayview Avenue to check out the area around the CP overpass after reading a bit of this web page on rudy.ca about Old Pottery Road. I wanted to see if the area had any good viewing locations for the CP Belleville sub section that crosses this location. After crossing along Pottery Road and heading up Bayview Avenue, I heard the crossing signals at Pottery go off. I turned to catch the VIA Canadian train #2, but too far up the hill to make it back down in time to get a closer view. It's still an interesting viewpoint, higher up the hill, and you can watch it wind it's away beside lower Bayview on it's way to Union Station.

hey jim, thanks for the link!
ReplyDeleteHaven't visited back here in a while. No problem, Rudy. That area is all blocked off now so those views are history.
