Comments on: Two of Montreal’s finest: MLW Century 630M’s coast downgrade – about to pass under the Stephenson Road / Lakeshore Road bridge CN Kingston mile 284.3….that curve was more super-elevated prior to the LRC’s introduction ! To commemorate the 2013 CARM Convention ( August 9 to 11 ) in Port Hope please enjoy this April 1980 Kodachrome of a westbound (and now relatively rare) conventional CN freight – in two paint schemes – on the approach to the Clarke crossovers. CN Century’s 2036 and 2026, built 1967-8, and sisters were all gone by 1996, with nine sold to CB&CNSRy. That is the CP Rail Lovekin siding – Belleville Sub mile 156.0 – in the left background and note how the land between was once farmed – a real challenge today to a get a clear shot of a westbound CPR !

The first boxcar was an oddity. The reporting marks are on the right hand side of the door.

Now there’s a good looking freight train! Not a GE widecab in sight!
