EMD's in the snow von Michael Berry Über Flickr: Snow is falling as CP 251 passes North Jct with an all-EMD lashup (CP 5936, CMQ 9017 & CP 6018). CP 251 has gone back to mostly having GE power, so this was a nice surprise. The snow was a not as nice surprise, but it does make for a nice photo.

On home turf by Michael Berry Via Flickr: A pair of barns (CMQ 9020 and CMQ 9017) have been on home turf during the past week, going back and forth between Maine on Montreal on CP 250/251. The presence of CP 6018 last though shows that things have changed, with CP now having taken this line back. Here CP 251 crosses the trestle at Eastman with an 81-car train that was taxing the power. A bit earlier they had told the RTC that they were only doing 12-13 mph (track speed here is currently 25 mph).

Brookport by Michael Berry Via Flickr: CP 251 has CP 6018 & CP 7011 for power as it passes the station sign for Brookport. To the west (timetable north) of Brookport is the Adirondack Sub. Going in the other direction the track branches off towards the south with the Newport Sub and towards the east with the Sherbrooke Sub. In the background is Mont Brome, where the Bromont skil hill is located.
