Hi-
This is short notice but I didn't realize that time flew by so quickly that this weekend is coming up!!!
I would like to do some railfanning around Whitby. and i was looking at google map. few spots seems to be interesting to go...
Can anyone tell me if CN and CP are sharing the line or not. How many trains during daylight? what's the typical daily of "schedule" trains? (of course I know that they dont stick to the schedule) Do they have ATCS? if so, is there server for ATCS?
Trestle bridge...

Any possible to access to take pictures of trestle from west side or down on creek bed? or it's off limit?
RR over another RR...

bridge over another RR at grade crossing and trestle over golf course. and Golf cart's grade crossing(??)
I would like to take pic of trains going by golfers... and golfers stopping at grade crossing in their golf carts.. but it's October... I guess that I have to come back for that..

someone already mentioned the name of yard to me - CP Agincourt Yard, which is south of previous link. any worth visit to there??? where's good spot to go??
railside park... any good? can I drive around to find a good spot? or railside park is only one option? from the google map in arieal shot, it seems that there's trees and fence which might be blocking the view? It seems like I can drive onto the park, based on tirewear in the lawn?

Few of these above might be too far to venture... I am still checking out the east side of Whitby... I would appericate any suggestions.. Keep in mind that I am not commuter train fan!! I would like to focus on CP and CN.
Can anyone drive up to the top of hill (landfill i think??)?? this probably would give me view of CN and CP tracks I
