Canadian Railroads > Morning Commute, 17 August 1976

At that time, I took CP's Train #241, an all-RDC consist, from Westmount to Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue every day. It was no doubt running late on August 17th, because as it approached the Dorval station, CN's Train #61 to Toronto was just pulling into the CN station. Normally, I would see #61 as I walked to work in Ste-Anne.

In 1976, the CN turbos had been repainted from white to yellow in advance of the Via takeover, but they still carried the CN logo.

I think 6 units was the typical number when I rode it. This was essentially the first inbound train of the day returning to Vaudreuil for a second run.
