Canadian Railroads > CN Turbo in 1976

CN Train #61 (the morning turbo to Toronto), passing Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue on 28 September 1976.

A few years ago, I posted another picture of this train on a different day:

Very interesting. Here's the exact same angle from January 2016, with CN 377 heading west.

What an impressive piece of work the Turbos were!

What a spectacular photo, all the better for being B&W! The station is just perfect, you used the poles and wires perfectly, and this brings back memories. I rode it once, when VIA had a bus out of Ottawa that connected with the Turbo to Toronto at Kingston. It didn't feel like it was going all that fast (remember how conventional equipment rocked and rolled on the Kingston Sub, and made it feel like you were doing 100?), but then I started timing the mileposts, and we were doing 89 mph smooth as glass.
