Canadian Railroads > MLW Monday - Westmount 1976

The nice thing about commuting in 1976 and getting off your train at Westmount at the end of the day was the unexpected activity that you might encounter. The Glen yard and shops not only serviced CP's RDCs, long-distance passenger cars and commuter cars, they also serviced CP's business cars and certain technical service cars.

In these photos (taken on August 5th), RS-10 8560 has brought one of the business cars in from St-Luc (I can't tell which one). Parked just east of the Westmount station, the locomotive is running around the train before moving into one of the Glen yard tracks.
