Railpictures.ca - Michael Berry Photo: The ‘overpass to nowhere’ will soon go somewhere. CN 327 has a pair of CSX ES40DC’s and a CN GP38-2W (CSXT 5273, CSXT 5277 & CN 4762) and 97 cars as it passes an overpass with an interesting story. Transports Québec started building an overpass which would bring highway 20 to the nearby airport about 6-7 years ago, but then realized that it had not obtained permission from CN or CP to build pillars on their right of way. Part of the overpass at right had sat unused and useless all this time, but work has finally begun anew as an agreement with the railways was reached a year ago. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography
