Little power, big train

CN L516, a Toronto to Belleville local that normally uses 6 axles has CN 4936, CN 4796, and GTW 6420 for power. The 3 geeps seemed to have little issue pulling the 60+ car train out of Mac, and after they departed Oshawa with only 10 cars, it was track speed to Belleville... until they learned they could only go up to 52mph with the GTW in tow... and they had to wait half an hour at Newtonville for a VIA to overtake a slow, delayed 271. Otherwise, it was a smooth trip and a nice deviation from the norm on the CN York sub which typically never sees geeps lead.
