After doing a big lift at Pointe St-Charles Yard, CN 527 is en route for Taschereau Yard as it heads west through Montreal West. This train is amply powered, with seven 6-axle units (NS 9765, NS 7665, NS 7305, CN 5785, CN 2547, CN 2002 & CN 5777). The three NS units came from the previous day's CN 529 (which terminated at Southwark Yard, where CN 527 originates) whereas the the four CN units came from grain train CN 878; those 4 units were part of the pickup at Pointe St-Charles.
