Could somebody give me some information about St. Albans? What days of the week do 324 and 323 run? Also about what time do they run. Thank You!

Last night’s 394 departed Island Pond at 19:23 after setting out one load of lumber. The power was 806, 3806 and 3047. The departing (not in this order) consist was 16 boxes, 23 tanks, two loads of lumber and a hopper.

After several unsuccessful trips to Island Pond, I finally saw a train tonight! I was parked a few miles above the yard when I heard the beautiful sound that only a fleet of EMD’s can produce. 394 came by with 3047, 3035, 6904 and 59 cars. Sorry I can’t provide the details Fritz can but the consist ...

Thanks Casey for your quick reply. I am usually there evenings between 18:00 and 21:00.

On July 17th Casey posted that 393/ 394 usually run Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Is this still the norm? I have been in Island Pond several times in the last few weeks and have seen nothing. I have even tried Tuesday and Thursday. Any information would be appreciated.

This sounds great, but is it really? I have heard a rumor that C. P. plans to shut it down for a tax write off.

Sorry about the double post. iPad is acting up!

Here is a belated report from last Friday the 11th. 394 crept through Lennoxville at 17:57 powered by 3007, 3804 and 805. They were pulling a whopping 20 cars! I can’t be as informative about the consist as Fritz, but who can? However, there were 6 loads of lumber, and several boxes and tanks. Also...

Hi 690,
About what times are #1 and # 2 running now? Thanks in advance for any updates you can give me.
Mike

The size of some of these trains is shocking. I hope it is only due to a slow recovery from the Brompton bridge collapse and not something more sinister. Does anybody have any information?

Great videos! Makes me need to get to Canada to do some serious train watching. I know there is no such thing as a schedule, but can anyone tell me what days and approximate times these trains run? I am primarily interested in the Sherbrooke Sub. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

If I had not been there to see all this, I would not have believed it. On Monday May 1st I ventured to Richford. 710 arrived with 31 cars at 13:45 with a striking array of power: 6537, 3815 and 2540. All three units returned to Farnham with 18 cars and I think they were all empties. That left 3812 w...

3816 came through St. Johnsbury, Vt. at 14:00 on last Friday. Does anyone know if CMQ has taken delivery? And if not already when?
