Canadian Railroads > CP 143 then CP 142 in quick succession

Yesterday I heard on the scanner that UP 5534 would be leading CP 143, which leaves Montreal early to mid-afternoon (CP 8870 trailed). I shot it from the St-Jean overpass in Pointe-Claire, Qc, but unfortunately it was on the south track which does not make for quite as good shots at that time of day. The reason for that was that CP 143's counterpart (CP 142) was coming on the north track, his head end passed me only about a minute after 143's head end, with CEFX 1006 leading 4 CP GE's.
