A northbound work train led by GP9 5138 and a singular railcar crosses Route 138, the only public railroad crossing on the railway. I do not know what is the purpose of the car trailing behind the locomotive, although it seems it was rebuilt from an old 52' bulkhead flatcar. Moments earlier, a specialy built ambulance equiped with steel wheels and fully functionnal lightbars had just came down the line towards Havre-Saint-Pierre, i wish i had thought of taking a picture of that thing! Although if you want to check it out for yourself, you can search for ''Ambulance ferroviaire'' on Google Images, where you should be able to find a picture of it taken from Demers Ambulances website.

  3. Also what’s with the renumbering of the locomotive on the cab?

  4. Great photo Ian.

    Not many photos of this railway out there.
