Comments on: IC 9639 and CN 4901 brings up a long train 559 to Rivière-du-Loup, the train had around 30 cars in tow, some of which were cars they picked up in Matane earlier in the day. IC 9639 is the first Illinois Central engine to be assigned to the Mont-Joli switcher, and the first one not to be an SD70 to roam the Mont-Joli subdivision. It is pretty remarkable to think it had not happened in the 18 years of previous CN ownership of the railway… http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

The building is still in use and is one of the rare stations on the Ocean where passengers can actually wait inside. There has not been a station master since 2013 though, no tickets can be bought in the station. @cp5756 Maybe once during detours, but to my knowledge CFMG never leased power from CN in the 2000s. @railwayguy Thank you very much!
