SFG 565's engines crawl past Matapédia station on a foggy Monday morning as they ride on CN's trackage to interchange cars for and from CN 562, before heading to New Richmond. On the right, you can see the cars that they dropped off, and in the background, the cars that they are about to pick up.

    Are you thinking like me, Glenn? As in “packing your bags” and making a trip? Ian’s work is opening eyes.

    @awmooney @Glenn
    Thanks guys! Despite not having as dense traffic as the Montreal region does, it sure is a nice area to railfan. I would strongly recommend stopping at Sartigan along the way too!
