Posting on CMQ forum at railroad.net indicates there is a 147 well train of double-stacked Hapag-Lloyd containers heading east to Saint John as CP train 250 today due to issues at the Port of Montreal.

Apparently it lost some time east of Sherbrooke because it stalled on the grades and required pushers to get going again.

Any idea what the transit time of this 3rd trip was? I'm guessing t was better than the first trip! Thanks.
