Album Info:What a lean month for trackside opportunities. Really bleak windy weather just about every Saturday and Sunday. I was able to catch the elusive CP Havelock freight run, and got one decent shot from the Dorval Station platform on my way back from Montreal.

CP 2282
Title:  CP 2282
Description:  Two sparking ECO units sandwich the usual GP38-2 on today's Havelock run. Despite the overcast skies, there's a nice early winter feel to the scene that makes these bright red diesels stand out.

CP 2282
Title:  CP 2282
Description:  I thought it was dog stew when out of the corner of my eye I saw this jet black dog flying through the tall grass heading directly at the train - only to put the brakes on and come to a skidding stop just inches from the tracks. This pooch has probably done the same daily train-chase-bark routine a thousand times, and was likely in no danger, but it sure scared the heck out of me.

CN 5692
Title:  CN 5692
Description:  With the winter sun setting fast, CN tanker train rumbles east past the Dorval Station. Big treat was the Norfolk Southern SD70ACe trailing unit.

VIA 919
Title:  VIA 919
Description:  In the short time I was at Dorval Station, waiting for my train back to Toronto, I at least got good train action. This is Ottawa bound train just ahead of my train to T.O. Two CN freights rolled past, and just beyond the trees is the Montreal commuter track corridor where I caught AMT 1328 (F59 PHI) heading west.
