Railpictures.ca - Michael Berry Photo: With rescue power ahead of the regular train, Amtrak 694 (Amtrak 68 once it reaches CPKC rails) passes the L’Acadie siding in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu this past Saturday afternoon. Both southbound and northbound Adirondacks had been cancelled the previous day. As far as I know, this is the first time a 9700-series P42C made its way to Canada. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography
