Comments on: A late VIA 67 in Montreal West yesterday afternoon. In the background is a large hill comprised of snow collected from the city streets.

Sweet capture Michael, i’m surprised the Francon quarry isn’t large enough to contain all of Montréal’s contaminated snow!

Thanks, the wind and cold was quite brutal on an overpass.

Nice composition Michael, interesting that solid consists of LRC’s are still being used by VIA on Montreal-Toronto trains. Was wondering what the large white mound in the background is, so thanks for the explanation. And thanks for braving the cold and the posting, John
