Thank you for the updates Fritz. They have allowed me to catch the morning train in Coaticook with out distrusting my whole day.

I think i saw this train in Magog a few days ago. There was three engines, two red barns and one leased locomotive.

Thanks for the quick reply. To bad to see more tracks being torn up for bike trails.

However last time my wife went threw Bedford ( late October) she said t...

Thank you very much. This is the info I was looking for.

I have been spending some time lately around Coaticook, Quebec. What kind of schedule dose SLR/SLQ have. How often dose a south bound leave Sherbrooke or one come up from the states.
