A GP38-2 leading Canada's only piggyback train. GP38-2 CP 3129 is leading the westbound Expressway (CP 133) through Pointe-Claire, with AC4400CW CP 8642 trailing. CP 133 and its eastbound counterpart CP 132 leave their terminals in Montreal and Toronto respectively in the evening and arrive at their destination at about 5 in the morning. They are the only piggyback trains running in Canada. While you would expect a hot train like this to be the exclusive domain of six-axle power, 4-axle geeps have been quite common on these trains this year and last year.
