Oshawa Rail Yards Notes

The Oshawa GM truck plant switching is contracted to Genessee and Wyoming. Truck frames arrive on open flatcars from CN and completed trucks are shipped out on autoracks provided by CP via their Oshawa Yard that they access using the bridge over the 401.The CN Oshawa Yard is currently being used for car and train storage, Mac Yard overflow, is home to yard job 546 and is often nearly full. CN Trains 516 (Mac Yard to Belleville) & 517 (Belleville to Mac Yard)  and others are daily regulars at CNs Oshawa Yard.

The CP Oshawa yard access to the CP Belleville Sub main line is expected to be used when Metrolinx expands rail service east to Clarington - info in this link: https://www.clarington.net/en/do-business/go-east-clarington.asp

This is a busy area with talking detectors and plenty of radio communications between train crews, RTCs, track foremen & MOW crews.

To those Railfans who are monitoring with radios that can transmit on the Railroad Frequencies: DO NOT TRANSMIT ON RAILROAD FREQUENCIES! It is a SERIOUS VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW, YOU WILL BE PROSECUTED & FINED and you will discredit the hobby. All it takes is a supervisor or a concerned crew member to report it.  WE CAN LISTEN IN, BUT WE HAVE NO AUTHROITY TO TRANSMIT!
