4K - Morning Rush Hour Trains at Toronto Union Station - GO, VIA, UP Express & Amtrak Trains

Presented in 4K UHD! In June and July of 2017, I made a 3 week visit to Toronto, Ontario in Canada. In this video, we take a look at the busy and ever flowing morning rush hour at the base of Toronto Union Station. I was at the Western Approach, and this location is very popular for getting the large number of deadhead trains going to and from the GO and VIA rail maintenance facilities in nearby Mimico and Willowbrook. I stayed positioned next to all of the rail activity on the SkyWalk at the base of the CN Tower and Ripley's Aquarium, across the tracks from Union Station. The largest rail hub in Canada, is Toronto Union Station.

Constantly flowing GO, Via Rail, and Union Pearson (UP) Express trains are seen passing by on the busy Union rail corridor. Just on after another, the trains keep coming as they shuttle commuters into the city for a busy day at work. Just count the number of trains and meets, mesmerizing! Amtrak's Maple Leaf also makes an appearance departing Toronto around 8 am, heading to New York City. Nice always to see Amtrak power here in Canada!!

The central location in Canada's busiest rail corridor, as well as being the central hub of GO Transit's commuter rail trains, makes Union Station the busiest transportation facility in Canada, serving over 250,000 passengers a day. Serving over 250,000 people a day, means there's a ton of train traffic throughout the day, especially during the rush hour peak times!

Stay tuned all month for even more videos from the Toronto area!

Thanks for watching! Enjoy!

On this 16th anniversary of September 11th, 2001, may we never forget the 2,996 innocent lives taken away from us that September morning. We stand stronger and prouder today than ever before as a country, against terrorism and violence on our homeland. God bless the United States of America, let freedom ring. Always remember 9/11/2001 - we will never forget.
