Three SD40-2's in three paint schemes
Author: Mberry

CP 5727, CP 5843 & CP 5961 lead a westbound through Dorval on November 29th, 2008. In the foreground are the three tracks of CN's Montreal Sub and past those tracks is the CN/CP interchange track, since removed.

Interchange track built for Pool Service. Also used regularly when VIA's
Canadian would leave from Montreal's Central Station (CN) and attain CP's mainline at Dorval.

BTW the interchange track was moved a mile or so west!

Correct, my understanding is that CN removed the frogs from the new interchange track and it doesn't connect to CN's Kingston Sub. I can't confirm that though.
