Canadian Railroads > Holiday Monday on the New Brunswick Southern

On the way home from a weekend in Maine, we took the road less travelled, Route 6 to Vanceboro, and the border crossing at St. Croix.  The border guards always seem puzzled that I take this route, since apparently hardly anybody else does.  I don't think I've ever seen a lineup there.

​Anyway, the timing this past Monday was perfect.  As we approached the border we heard the American crew get their clearance to leave McAdam and head to a meet with the eastbound train from Brownville Jct. at Bancroft.  907 had a pair of company SD40s flanking a GMTX leaser, as they neared the road crossing about 4 miles west of McAdam.

​Many of the old ABS signals are still in place along the track through Maine, although turned sideways and decommissioned after Canadian Pacific gave up in 1995.
