Due to the length of the stub end tracks the set-off filled 3 full tracks with a handfull going to a 4th track.

If your serious about coming up, e-mail me and I can show you around. About 20 min east of here is Bayview Jct which gets the trains that go through Brantford plus the stuff that heads towards Buffalo including GO Trains, CP moves on trackage rights and CN and VIA trains.
