Following CP#911 Video

There are many things our club does well, but creating numerous, frequent, and up-to-date layout videos for the WRMRC YouTube channel isn’t one of those. However, the recent Waterloo Railway Expo did coax us to do some new filming, so our club’s display there could present this video showing some of the newer scenic areas and latest structures on the layout.

This video follows CP manifest freight #911 along the current active section of the layout between Stinson siding on the Cartier Sub, and the hidden Webbwood staging yard at the end of the Webbwood Sub. The recording was done over the middle of August 2026, just days before the Expo.

This isn’t the slickest and most professional model train video, but it does give you a contemporary look at the CP Sudbury Division layout in 2026.

For your viewing pleasure we present:- “Following 911 Over the CP Sudbury Division”
