The Ocean enters the Newcastle Sub at Pacific Junction on the CN. The Newcastle Sub, like the rest of the former Intercolonial route to Riviere-du-Loup, was sold to shortlines, but recently repurchased by CN. However the south end of the Newcastle Sub is now up for abandonment, and if that happens the Ocean will have to be rerouted on the current through freight route via Edmundston, The future of the Ocean seems to be very much in doubt.

A northbound Upper Canada Railway Society special from Toronto to Gravenhurst with 4-8-4 CN 6218 meets the eastbound Super Continental at Washago. We came north on the now mostly removed line via Barrie, and returned on the CN main.

Westbound just west of Rogers Pass. We were driving west, not far ahead of the train, when we saw this kind of lighting in the rear view mirror. We quickly pulled off the road, jumped out of the car, and looked for a shot. Unfortunately there were a bunch of bushes in the way. But by standing on the tip of my toes I could barely shoot over the bushes.

In March 1967 I rode the Atlantic Limited from Montreal to St. John. A skyline car served as diner lounge. The consist was a mix of stainless steel and heavyweight cars. I remember a really good dinner in the skyline the night before. The next morning, most likely after a good breakfast, I wandered into the dome and snapped this picture at (I believe) Fredericton Jct.
