Thanks Kevin. As a matter of fact, I do recall seeing the QEWWC / QWCEW trains with the DPU’s cut-in somewhere around 3/4 of the way back. I’ll have to dig around for some shots of them.

Weirdly, to me, the westbound Z-train took the siding, possibly just for the local, which seemed to blast through. The conductor of the westbound Z-train lined the siding switch behind his train, which struck me as bizarre.
