Using your collection of timetables could you figure out which train that was?  The lighting indicates that I shot it in the afternoon.  Light is strong and high so it can't have been too close to sunset, which at that time of the year was 1635.

it wasn't an extra nor was it carrying green flags.  What's your considered opinion?

KG, I would suggest this was train 11-19, the Scotian. The two baggage cars was the result of train 19 (Sydney-Truro) combining with the Scotian in Truro.  The Scotian's scheduled arrival in St. Lambert was 14:50.
