Comments on: Normally seen plying the CP commuter lines, CTCUM 1300 teams up with CP C424 4235 to lead a transfer to Hochelaga Yard, where CP serves the Port of Montreal. CUM 1300, a former CP FP7 is either helping out the power short CP on the weekend or making a break in run after maintenance at St. Luc Yard. Either way, it makes for an interesting consist!

Yes, reporting marks were “CUM” (“communaute urbaine de Montreal”)…and that’s how the trains were addressed over the radio!

If Wikipedia is to be believed, then it was STCUM by the time this photo was taken: “The CTM became the Commission de transport de la communauté urbaine de Montréal (CTCUM) in January 1970, and in 1985, rebranded itself again by becoming the Société de Transport de la Communauté Urbaine De Montréal (STCUM). Commuter trains ceased to be the managed by the STCUM in 1996 and responsibility for this service was transferred to the newly created Agence métropolitaine de transport.”
