Canadian Railroads > Rarest thing in Montreal-CPR freight trainDate: 02/12/18 13:02 Rarest thing in Montreal-CPR freight train Author: kgmontreal CPR runs only eight freight trains a day between Montreal and Toronto (that includes both directions). Most of these are after dark in winter. But today train 112 came east just before noon with a very long train and three units 1+1+1. All three were a different colour with the second unit a new 8100 series rebuild. Here they are at Dorion.

But G&W wants nothing to do with track shared with AMT commuter trains. KG Date: 02/12/18 18:53 Re: Rarest thing in Montreal-CPR freight train Author: Mberry CPR_4000 Wrote:
