Canadian Railroads > 3 NS-led trains in Montreal in 7 minutes

I headed to the Angrignon overpass in Montreal, Qc just past noon on Victorida Day to shoot CN 323, which I had heard was returning from Vermont with 2 NS units. I got more than I expected, as I manged to shoot 3 trains with 8 NS units total (and not a single CN unit) during a 7 minute period.

1-As I got to the overpass, I just missed CN 528, running in daylight exceptionally, with NS 8955, NS 8157, an unknown NS unit and NS 9849.

2-A very short CN 527 is heading west on the freight track at left with NS 8004 & NS 9443. On the next track over (the north track) the tail end of CN 528 is visible. Finally on the south track at right we see the headlight of CN 323, returning from Vermont with NS 1134 & NS 8972 for power.

3-A closer shot of CN 323.
