    Very good picture Marc. This is the first picture of east bound Ocean which nicely shows the Renaissance car portion of the Ocean’s consist. Can’t quite make out the first car behind the 2 F40PH-2’s but am assuming it could be a Renaissance transition-baggage car. Very interesting to see the catenary towers from CN electric commuter operation days are still in existence. Will they be used by RER for its entrance to Central Station, or are they to be removed ? Thank you for posting, John
