Stumbled across this: A Quebec Central FP7A (former AMT) at Vallee Junction, QC with what appears to be three MP75s (low roofline) and a MP72/PT72. The MP75s are also in the Montreal AMT livery.

According to the complete LIRR passenger car fleet notes, most of the MP75s were sold to Cape Cod Central in 1999, so how they got there is not clear.

My roster of former LIRR P72 and P75 cars indicates 2709, 2722 and 2841 were stored at Levis QC Canada in 2006, part of a failed tourist/excursion operation known as “Trains Touristiques de Chaudiere - Appalaches.”

And it was a beautiful route as well. I've driven past it many times, and the scenery is spectacularly pastoral and green. Some of the track has been pulled up during a sewer project in St. George, and heading outward from Quebec City. Great idea, great place, wrong time.
