Michael, “timing is everything “ ! Very nice picture, good lighting, good composition and nice contrast in diesel paint schemes. If I remember correctly, these three CN tracks are down to two by the time you get to Dorval Station, so if 271 and 305 are “racing” each other, who was allowed to proceed first ? Thank you for posting, John

Thanks. Yes, it narrows down to two tracks behind me, but 271 had a clear signal on the north track and 305 had a clear signal on the south track, so both could proceed at track speed, at least for a bit. 271 was ahead further west.
