Canadian Railroads > MLW Monday M-Lines on the East End

Climbing the grade through Racey on their way from Lennoxville to Birchton, QC four M-Lines thunder eastward toward Maine and Saint John, NB with a hot train that includes intermodal. Led by M-630 4558 the quartet is a mixture of M-630 and M-636 units. Photo taken in the spring of 1979.

Oh my oh my. Nice shot. Doug

The train sneaking around those curves makes this even better.

Nicely done Ken! RY.

Really fine. Sorry I was never able to shoot that line. I did make it to Brownsville Jct one year, but only saw RS18's.

It was a great chase that day. But when the slides came back from Kodak my heart sank. Something went wrong in the developing and the images were all magenta. Kodachrome normally has a magenta cast but this was beyond a tint. It was overwhelming. For some reason I kept the slides rather than throwing them into the "round file". Little did I know that decades later technology would allow me to scan the slides and, using Lightroom, restore the colour.

When I think of all the slightly over and underexposed slides that I threw away..............

Nice work!

Brilliant location, composition (when telegraph poles work!), and train. Nice save, too.
