Canadian Railroads > CP Tuscan RDC in Residence at Carleton University

The first appearance of CP RDC-1 9065 on train #132, northshore to Montreal from Ottawa, was posted yesterday at https://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?15,5679474. Four days later, conditions were good, and I set up on the spiral ramp (with some trepidation) of the parking garage at Carleton University, to get the down-on view. The time is 0825 on May 30, 1978. In the background are the residence buildings, and a group of buses to carry conventioneers of some kind from residence to a day of sightseeing in the nation's capital.

Interesting scene.

It appears the rear door is open, something that wouldn't be tolerated today.

Conductor there ready to detrain passengers? Or?

Wish I had rode it when I used to spend time at the grandparents on the North Shore of Montreal. That was a pretty quiet piece of track and I wassn't sure trains even ran there in the mid-sixties.

There was no stop here, maybe in Hull, but I don't know. Still quite a while away.
