Canadian Railroads > CP Tuscan RDC in Residence at Carleton UniversityDate: 05/17/23 13:54 CP Tuscan RDC in Residence at Carleton University Author: feclark 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.
