Canadian Railroads > Back to blue skies this afternoon

This morning the rain had finally stopped in Montreal, but skies were grey and the wind was outrageous. However the skies cleared after lunch and stayed blue till sunset. I headed to the St-Henri neighbourhood of Montreal to shoot CN 401 and also caught a few VIA's.

1-VIA 6427 leads two LRC cars over the Lachine Canal with what seems to be a deadhead move of some kind. In the background at left is part of downtown Montreal's skyline.

2-CN 2286 & IC 1026 lead a short (70 cars) CN 401 over the Lachine Canal. The train is passing over the supports that held a swing bridge before the old bridge was replaced during the early 1990s. Every fall the canal is partially emptied, allowing the remains to be seen.

No, I leave that to other intrepid railfans.
