I found this slide from May of 1982 and had to laugh. We had just arrived at Montmorency Falls, Quebec, on the tour bus during a high school French class trip from Lyons, NY, (south of the border) when here came a westbound CN freight train, right on top of us. The lead switcher was not of much interest to me, but the MLW RS-18 CN 3623 certainly was. Note that the lead freight car, CN 856004, is interesting, perhaps a wood chip car?? I can't tell you anything about Montmorency Falls because I stayed outside the park (much to the chagrin of our chaperones) waiting for another train that sadly never came. Little did I know at the time that the Murray Bay Subdivision was not a CN mainline. There is a tourist train there now - I should go back and look at the falls.
