Pushing 17 |
| Description: |
The usual FP 7 is pushing train 17 at Beaconsfield. In the late 80s, STCUM rebuilt many of their stations, replacing the ancient CP facilities they inherited with the service. While this removed some venerable old CP stations, the commuting experience was greatly improved for the daily rider. |
