Canadian Railroads > Last and first trains of the year

I shot a few trains on the last day of 2018 and a few more on the first day of 2019, here are two from each day.

1-On a grey New Year's Eve, VIA 6455 & VIA 910 lead VIA 635 as it crosses from the north to the south track of CN's Kingston Sub in the St-Henri of Montreal.

2-Ethanol train CP 650 with CP 9831 & CSXT 3448 for power is passing the Du Canal Station a bit later that afternoon in Lachine.

Thankfully the afternoon of the first was mostly sunny.

3-CN 5734 & CN 2528 lead a very short CN 527 past Turcot Ouest as it heads towards Taschereau Yard on the new portion of CN's Montreal Sub.

4-CN 323 is passing underneath a set of signals in Montreal West 25 minutes before sunset, with CN 2509, CN 8886, CN 2565 & 81 cars received in interchange from the NECR in St. Albans, VT.

Thanks for posting these up, and please, this is not a comment on your first photo's quality (nicely composed and exposed), but that is one seriously ugly mutt train, with the F40PH-3, wrapped P42DC, then LRC cars. Nothing matches at all; not colours, not roof lines (yes, I am aware the coaches are passing through a turnout), nothing.
