Detour move. Due to a derailment on their bridge between Terrebonne and Laval, the Quebec Gatineau Railway has been running detour trains on CN's main line between Montreal and Quebec City. Here an eastbound detour (IDed CN F900) is crossing the Lachine Canal in St-Henri this afternoon with downtown Montreal in the background. Power is four SD40-3's (QGRY 3347, QGRY 3325, QGRY 3334 & QGRY 3326), with 91 cars in tow.
The EMD SD (special duty) series are a strong and reliable kind of locomotive which still serve America's rails today. They have proved themselves reliable by clocking in several million miles of freight service over several decades.
