Past Monteal West Station
Author: Mberry

Cab car AMT 706 is leading AMT 93 past Montreal West station and is about to stop to pick up passengers before continuing towards Candiac during today's evening rush.

Nice looking paint scheme you've got there in Montreal.  I suppose all of the F's are gone?

The F's are long gone as are the GP9's.

Somebody mention F units.  Same place but different time and train.   Many fond memories of Montreal West.

Great shot Neil.  This would be the Atlantic Ltd heading to Saint John, NB.  How long did the containers last on this train?

Nice that they put a diaphragm on the cab end
They do believe in explicit number boards, don't they ?

Diaphragm(s) so that cab cars may be used mid train as well!

NJT has run theirs mid-train, which I do not think is too safe.

Are trains being pushed - like the one headed by cab car 706 - identified by the cab car, or by the locomotive?
