A new (but short-lived) angle. CN 401 rounds a curve at Turcot West with CN 5759 & CN 2826 for power and loaded autoracks on the head end as always. This angle opened up just recently, as up until a few months ago trees along the south side of the ROW blocked this shot. However this shot will change in the near future, as CN's ROW here will head to the left soon, with a switch to the new ROW already visible at far left; this will also mean the replacement of the classic signal bridge that the train is passing under. One more change is that trains that change crews at Turcot West are now doing so where the tiny shack is at right; before trains changed crews a few hundred metres further east.
