Railfanning CP, CN and VIA at Memory JCT. in Brighton Ontario!
Back in 2013 my family and I went up to my aunts in Trenton to visit for a few days. While we were there like we always do my dad and I went about 1 hour West down the 401 to the small town of Brighton ON. where the Memory Junction railway museum is. The CP Belleville sub and the CN Kingston sub come together and run parallel through the town. The museum is right beside the train tracks and has a CN steam engine and a couple of cars, in the video of the last VIA train you can see the steam engine. It's a good spot to railfan and to also learn about Brighton's railway history. Sorry there was no CN trains, I don't know why any didn't go by, this line is a pretty busy CN line. Enjoy!
