Motor helper |
| Description: |
VIA trains coming out of Central Station got CN electrics to pull them out of the tunnel, with the motor cutting off after pulling the VIA train onto the connecting track at Jct deLest. All VIA trains got a helper, even RDCs. Here CN 6714 is pulling a Senneterre train around the connection, and will cut off, then return downtown for a commuter train. |

CN van on a local |
| Description: |
In August 1985 I went to Nontreal to catch the CN electrics on commuter trains. One of the good spots to go was Jct de Lest, out near Cote Vertu, where two lines crossed. The other line hosted a variety of traffic, includmng this local behind a pair of chop nose GP 9s-and with this car bringing up the rear. Check out the CP 40 foot box!! |
