Comments on: A pair of barns (CMQ 9020 and CMQ 9017) have been on home turf during the past week, going back and forth between Maine on Montreal on CP 250/251. The presence of CP 6018 last though shows that things have changed, with CP now having taken this line back. Here CP 251 crosses the trestle at Eastman with an 81-car train that was taxing the power. A bit earlier they had told the RTC that they were only doing 12-13 mph (track speed here is currently 25 mph).

Michael, another great “bridge over water” picture ! But unlike the St Lawrence River scenes at LaSalle, not “over troubled” waters. Also great to see the 3 different paint schemes, CP making good use of their former “old barns”, and the duck paddling along oblivious to all the clamour – such a good Eastern Townships picture !

You’re right on the money with that one. Hey, if you talk to anyone, have them send that BAR unit down to Southern Ontario!! It would shake up the lads. )
