Comments on: A northbound Delaware & Hudson train on the Lacolle sub, powered by Alco C424 DH 462, is approaching the junction with CP’s Adirondack Sub in namesake town Delson = Del(aware & Hud)son. I suspect that this train crossed into Canada from Rouses Point NY, passed through Napierville QC, and will continue across CP’s St Lawrence Seaway bridge to the St-Luc yard. From the track and road configuration, I believe this picture was taken at Rue de la Station grade crossing. This was a lucky catch, I was close enough to hear it coming. One of the better moments on my first long independent road trip, returning to Quebec after 9 years. I was in the area to visit the Canadian Railway Museum, but it wasn’t open that week.

I did not know that delson was named after the d&h. Now the museum needs a d&h locomotive

Wow! You are correct about the location, as well as its origin and destination. At that time the track the train is on was owned by D&H subsidiary Napierville Junction Railway, now it is CP’s Lacolle Sub.
