Canadian Railroads > NS power all over the place in Eastern Canada

NS power enters Montreal on a daily basis on run-through train CN 529 (aka CP 931, aka NS 31T) but that NS power is sometimes used on other trains, and yesday must have been a record example, with NS units leading CN 407 in Nova Scotia and CN 327, CN 461 and CN 527 in the Montreal area. Here CN 527 approaches Taschereau Yard with NS 9293, NS 8981 & CN 2673 yesterday afternoon. I had no idea this was coming but was heading to Dorval to see what was out. I spotted the NS units paralleling my car on highway 20 and barely beat the train to the Norman overpass.
