After taking photos of the ice fishers huts on the mouth of the Rimouski river, i decided it was time to walk up the hill to the railway track and catch train 402, hoping it would come to town before it gets too dark. To my big surprise, train 559, returning light to Mont-Joli with the engines 9418 and 4787 would arrive instead, which was very unusual, as it usually never runs on Mondays. I could not complain though, as the light move allowed me to take a shot of the trailing engine with the hill overlooking the city, reflecting the last rays of sunlight in the background. Train 402 would still come around as usual, about an hour later.
