Canadian National Railway mixed freight train heading uphill, west out of London. Its uphill but the cars must be mostly empty because its moving easily enough for such a long train with only two locomotives.

Also VIA train #72 (Windsor-Toronto) passes a few minutes before arriving in London.

Notes: first video shot using an ND filter (PolarPro ND8/PL). The motion is a bit smoother, but its harder to read the locomotive numbers with the lower shutter speed.
The rather abrupt about-face at 3m20s is when the automatic return-to-home kicked in, not sure why it lost signal less than 500m away, but nice to know it works.")
