- Toronto, Ontario is one of the busiest places in Canada to see trains. With Via Rail, Go Transit, and Amtrak passenger trains and CPKC and Canadian National freight, there's a lot to see on a daily basis. In this video, we will explore Toronto and the surrounding areas looking at a variety of different trains. In addition to the previously mentioned railroads, we will also see two different tourist railroads as well as a Toronto Transit Commission streetcar.

Have lived in Toronto for the past 7 years, I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Nice to see some recognition of one of North America's fastest growing transportation networks from one of the best railfanning CZcams channels!
Thank you so much! It's a really neat city. There's definitely a lot to see!
@@CoasterFan2105 did you hear the news that the Cumbres and Toltec narrow gauge railroad is going to get diesels? This comes on the heels of the Durango and Silverton doing a similar thing so that it could continue running passenger services during hot weather when wildfires are a problem. While some people didn’t like the fact that the Durango and Silverton got diesels. I must say that I really like seeing the footage of their historic Alco built narrow gauge diesels, since these are very rare to my knowledge. I think they also might be some of the last Alco built products that were ever made. In any case, I am excited to see what the diesels on the Cumbres and Toltec will look like and what diesel operations over there will be like. Also, I must say that I absolutely adore seeing footage of both steam and diesel locomotives being used in tandem at the same time, such as what has happened at the Durango and Silverton. I wanted to know if whenever you get a chance, if in the future when the diesels arrive at Cumbres and Toltec, if you could attempt to get some footage of them when they start running? Also, do you have any footage of the Durango and Silverton narrow gauge diesels at work?
Enjoyed seeing the passenger, excursion and freight trains!
Thank you! There's a lot of neat train variety in the greater Toronto area!
What's an excursion train?
@@rotatorcuffs8140 It’s a special kind of train that takes you on an excursion, like the Grand Canyon Railway, Tennessee Valley Railroad, Texas State Railroad, etc.
@@rotatorcuffs8140 A passenger train used for touristic purposes, like a steam special or similar.
Ive always been fascinated by Via Rail's 'The Canadian', not only because of its long consist, but the distance it travels. Its the equivalent of taking a train from NYC to LA!
It's a really interesting train. I'd love to cover it in depth at some point!
Would love to take it someday! Its a very scenic route, especially when you get to Jasper for that fresh air break. Also, you spend an hour in Winnipeg (assuming your on time) that you can use to go around town!
Those enormously long GO trains make me so happy. I can only hope that someday Metrolink and Coaster down here in Southern California can get to this level. 👏
It's pretty wild to see commuter trains that long! Not many commuter railroads in North America with trains that have 10 cars!
@CoasterFan2105 When Metrolink's San Bernardino line becomes the connection to Brightline's high speed train to Las Vegas, I hope they're moving huge numbers of people in trains as long as these.
Coaster has just received 4 new Bi-Levels with 7 more currently on the way. Baby steps!
@2307_railfanning Now we just need to stop the tracks from being washed into the sea. 🙃
@@SoCalHighIron Wonder when they’re gonna fix San Clemente fully so 6908 and 6952 can finally get back to the yard and we can finally get full service in San Diego.
Thanks, my son is a big fan, glad you stopped by Toronto!
Thank You for sharing! I like the mix of freight and passenger… also the GO and Via are neat with the shades of green. Cool, thanks again!
My son's been a long-time fan of the channel starting around 2 years old -- he'll be thrilled to see "our" trains featured!
Happy to see more of your footage of trains in Canada!
Many thanks! More coming soon!
oh wow nice! I usually railfan the go trains and its cool!
I went here in the summer of 2023 for a week and every single day we will see those trains also
Great video you have
Awesome video once again and cool catches. Enjoyed watching and have a great upcoming weekend.(Steve)
Many thanks, Steve!
Your very welcome.@@CoasterFan2105
Great job Mike 🚂 nice to see the South Simcoe included 👍🏼
Good catches. And I never been Canada train this before. 🙂
Thank you! It's definitely a neat place to visit.
@@CoasterFan2105I see.

I just subscribed to this terrific channel. I grew up right next to the railroad tracks in Woods Hole, Mass, the end of the line for the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad. I wish I had become a Lady Train Engineer!
Awesome video! This is pretty close to where I see trains, and it was cool seeing someone else recognizing the spots and getting awesome shots from them!
as a USRC TMD, both my 2 year old and I loved this video. Your work is much appreciated!
Phenomenal video!! Man, this brings me back memories when I visited Toronto. Well done Mike!
It was great meeting you and your father at Bathurst St.!
You too! Hope you've been well. Might run into you again next summer!
I used to live a 5min walk from Streetsville GO when I was a kid and being a kid who loved Trains and the colour Green, I was in heaven~
Awesome video!
Many thanks!
Fantastic video
Thank you, Evan!
@@CoasterFan2105 You are welcome
Toronto is by far the busiest place in Canada to see trains. GO Transit carries more passengers than every other Canadian mainline railway combined.
Excellent trains 🇨🇦
Yet again, Mike, another interesting film. Thanks for sharing.
It's nice to see the old GP9RM's still running. Love your work as always Mike.
Nice catches, shots and great scenery. I enjoyed every minute of the video Mike !
Greetings From Southern California;

Nice! I love Toronto!
Thank you! It's a really cool city!
so pleasant to watch instead of all the garbage going on...thanks!!!!
What?
@@seanmas7599 obviously you haven't been watching what is going on in our country....but that's okay..
13:12 man I skipped to here and thought “YO A HIGH HOOD” but I was completely wrong 😅
Wow..a very beautiful train..cool
Cool! I actually recently got a part time job at the South Simcoe Railway, so its neat to see that one of, if not the biggest railfanning youtubers has been there!
Our family frequently travelled by train from our village to Toronto. Sadly, the line was discontinued years ago but I retain fond memories of those train rides. Thank you for this video, I look forward to watching all of your work as a new sub!
Fantastic catch , some cool GO trains and Via , going to subscribe your channel
Maybe sometime I might go to Canada for the first time and railfan there!
Nice!
Read as “Tornado Trains”. Was expecting a different video 😂 Toronto is a beautiful city!
AAAAWWWWW YESSSSS all the pixels all the frames NICE
3:01 South Simcoe 703 Has A Cargo Ship Horn
i have been waiting for this a long time
Nice to see the south simcoe train. Just down the road from my place. It’s too bad the steam engine doesn’t run much anymore
This video was made when I went on a school trip to Toronto. We saw a lot of go and at one point Via, but no cp. I love the go paint scheme, it really fits well with the Toronto atmosphere!
Very nice video, I also filmed some trains on Iceboat terr. while I was in Toronto, great compilation 🔥
Its insane that you saw those gp9's they are starting to be rare on the CN
Enjoy seeing what the neighboring citys trains have to offer! Im from Montreal! I would like that you could go ro montreal and see what the compititon is like!
Nice video! Never even thought about Toronto trains until now! Keep up the great work! 👍🫡
Thank you!
@@CoasterFan2105 You’re welcome! 👍
This is about the most American comment possible LOL
@@therailfan5412 You’re probably right! Because I don’t focus on other countries train’s usually! lol 😂
That's quite a combination of stuff, Mike.
Awesome video Mike 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃👍
I’ve watched this channel since I was a little boy.😊 I noticed that the intro went from a nice evolution of trains to just the logo popping up. I wish you could do a simplified introduction of train evolution again. Just a suggestion
Awesome!
Thanks!
Nice.
Thanks!
My friend Like 👍🏻 awesome capture my support 💪🏻 Greeting 🙋🏻 from argentina 🇦🇷 nuevo suscriptor 👇🏻😁
Hi Mike, great video but something else is more important: 2024 watermark! 🙌
New year, new watermark! Thanks for watching!
I have been waiting for this!!!

I didn’t know Amtrak and CP run to Toronto. Interesting 🧐 Also great stuff. Lots of rarities
Yeah its a toronto to newyork city route i believe
4:23 I saw that X301 with my friend in London!
Love it!
Thanks!
Me when CF2105 comes to Canada: 😲
Great camera work.
0:30 looking at this shot, the description of this video doesn’t lie
Pretty much everything in one view!
Such a wonderful train video, thank you for posting, what is that train at 11:16 it's a beauty and never seen it. I am an n scale train enthusiast and have the gevo ES44 Canadian Pacific in red just like the one in this video. Gave me so much joy.
Cool video
Thanks!
Terrific video Mr. Armstrong, the tornoto trains was great success, now, Can you request for new video about the Albany and eastern railway with steam loco #205?
Awesome video! Cannot wait to catch those new Bombardier cab cars on the Coaster!
Can you do a Detroit Trains video in the future? Here in Detroit we have lots of train’s including ns high hood gp38s and high hood sd40s (high hood sd40s are in oakwood yard outside of Detroit)
What train is that yellow and gray passenger one i keep seeing i don’t think Ive seen it before
You are my and still my childhood
wondering whether there be any other commuter in the west that happens to shuttle more folk at a time than the longest GO train does...
I like Toronto
@1:36, what kind of RDCs are those? Are they even RDCs? I don't see a catenary or a third rail.
No TTC Subways 😭
Unfortunately not this time around, but hopefully next time!
1:33 What is that kind of train? Is it part of any mainline railway or is it just special? Thanks :)
That was a great vid
I went to the Utah train museum yesterday
I love trains but something about passenger cars being shorter in height than the locomotive really grinds my gears
🌷🍃🇮🇳🍃🌷
Nice Video!
Thank you!
I'm downtown, have been for years so I've always had a fascination with freight train sightings. Are there any spots you can get to by TTC? And do you have a list of places where you shot in this video?
There's a busy line by Jane and St.Clair W, a bunch of freight track is used over there.
1:33 union Pearson!!
Hey I'm from Toronto the area you were downtown in that looked like a bridge skywalk is that the on at Union?
I believe it’s by the CN tower in union
What is those grey passenger cars is it a Small commuter train I have never seen them before with the yellow line on top of them
That is the Union Pearson Express. It's a shuttle train running between downtown Toronto and the airport. Runs on a 15 minute frequency.
@@marengtech313 its a lovely ride though and so fast - I've done the subway/shuttle bus run many times and there's no comparison to how nice it is to hop on the UP, my son who loves trains considers a ride on the UP a well spent saturday afternoon
@@marengtech313 It's much faster to ride than taking the Subway + Kipling Bus. Take it to Dundas West or Union Station instead of heading to Kipling.
Any plans on visiting the grapevine vintage railroad Mike?
Waw... keretanya bagus 👍
Do one in montreal
Can you do Winnipeg next?
Your not sudbury Mike?
What something you did in Canada other than railfan did you see bear or fast food items that are not in USA like in Canada mcdoanlds I actually kept on doing the all day breakfast in the pandemic.
0:48 wheres that location?
toronto train is 100 Mph
Cool video although it gets boring after like 30 seconds with no narration. Try actually explaining what's going on and im sure you'll get more people interested. Cool video, needs work. Hope that's not coming off as rude but constructive
