CN van on a local |
| Description: |
In August 1985 I went to Nontreal to catch the CN electrics on commuter trains. One of the good spots to go was Jct de Lest, out near Cote Vertu, where two lines crossed. The other line hosted a variety of traffic, includmng this local behind a pair of chop nose GP 9s-and with this car bringing up the rear. Check out the CP 40 foot box!! |

Could use some paint |
| Description: |
By this time, even though cabooses were still in common use in Canada, it was becoming apparent their days were numbered. As a result, they were not getting a whole lot of loving care, and quite a few needed a touch up on their paint. Heres one that could use some refreshing, taking up the rear of an eastbound. |
