Caption: On the Sunday morning of March 29th, local train 559 departed Mont-Joli with CN 4789 and 9416 as the engines as usual. Not long after, while circulating between Luceville and Saint-Anaclet, the crew reported a problem with the lead engine to the RTC. Almost an hour later, limping at about 10 MPH, the crew dropped off the lead engine of the train, CN 4789, on the siding in Sacré-Coeur, borough of the city of Rimouski. After hearing the news of this operation by a friend of mine, i decided i would go take a look at the parked locomotive after eating supper. Thankfully, they had parked it on a section of the siding that is parallel to the road, so i could snap a few pictures like this one. When i crossed the tracks to head back home, i noticed that the rails were still very dirty from vehicular traffic, meaning that the return trip had yet to come by. I waited about 15 minutes before it came around the bend, however it was unfortunately too dark to take pictures at this point.
