Canadian Railroads > GrainsConnect and VIA 601-603Date: 09/02/19 13:14 GrainsConnect and VIA 601-603 Author: Ray_Murphy It was dark and rainy this morning when I decided to catch VIA 601-603 in Ville St-Pierre (Montreal). Just when I expected the VIA train to show up, a headlight came creeping around the bend in the other direction. It was GECX 2041 and CN 8830 moving a unit train of GrainsConnect hoppers that had been parked on the 4th track here all week (Pictures 1-3).
These hoppers are quite new (Picture 4), and I didn’t see a single mark of graffiti on the entire train, a welcome change. Pictures 5 and 6 show the VIA train, led by 6455 and with 6410 for the second part of the combined train. Ray Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 09/02/19 13:18 by Ray_Murphy.

It is nice to see a clean train; I saw a similar cut of Louid Dreyfuss grain cars in Viking a while back, and it was refreshing. I'm sure these'll get tagged eventually.
