Niagara Express GO Trains, VIA Rail & CN Railfanning at Fourth Line in Oakville - Summer 2022

In Summer 2022, I visited the Fourth Line Level crossing in Oakville, Ontario for several railfanning trips. This crossing is not threatened by a grade separation at the moment, but I would not be surprised if it happens since the crossing is located in a commercial area and has lots of construction space. The crossing gate on the south side of the crossing has a cool vintage-sounding bell but it can get drowned out by the new E- Bell on the north side.

On my trips to the crossing, I filmed several GO Trains from multiple different angles, two VIA Rail, and the local CN Train. Some of the highlights were an old cab car leading, the Niagara Express F59PH Duo, and a GP9RM trailing second on CN 554. I hope you enjoy!
