Hi Everyone,


I was wondering if there are any folks near Ottawa/Brockville who know about CN operations? I'm thinking of driving down to Prescott on the weekend, but I don't know the area too well. Does anyone know a great spot to railfan? I've gone to a crossing in the past, but all I've caught are passenger trains so far and I'm sure there's a better place. Does anyone know how many CN trains go between Montreal/Toronto per day and the best time to see them?

Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated!

Gisa ^^

I know I am waaaaaay late on this but I can answer any questions about CN's Toronto-Montreal and Ottawa - Coteau operations.
