Canadian Railroads > Interesting Locomotives Montreal Feb 18, 2017

This morning Canadian National ran a parade of freight trains into and out of Montreal.  Another fan saw eight between 0700 and 0930 while I saw five between 1000 and noon.  Many were the typical modern GE's.  But two had unusual units.  X310 had Illinois Central 3108 as its second unit.  The Maitland Tank-Train, today carrying only gasoline, had an ex-Oakway SD60 and GTW 5951 an SD40 variant.  Both trains were photographed at Pointe-Claire.

Here's a closeup of the power on 585 and a shot CN 120 departing for Halifax with more typical power.
