Nostalgia & History > E8s on the Atlantic Limited

Here’s the CP Rail Atlantic Limited at Windsor Station Montreal in June 1976....ready to depart on its overnight run across the State of Maine to Saint John, New Brunswick....complete with a short, full service consist of E8, Baggage Car, Coach, Skyline Dome Coffee Shop & Sleeper.

....again at Windsor Station on a wet March evening and a "Kodak Instamatic Moment" at Saint John, way back in 1971.

Not bad for an Instamatic color wise,not as sharp as it could be,but you use what you have.

CP Ry. operating crews on the old Atlnatic Limited were based out of Farham, QC and worked between Montreal and Meginic, QC.

Brings back memories of riding a very late running D&H era Adirondack. We were going to miss our connection to the Atlantic but the crew set up a meet just south of Montreal West. They matched up vestibules and we stepped down onto the ballast and then up into the waiting door of the Atlantic. No pictures but a great memory of our PA powered train pulling up to the E8 CP train.
