About mberry


My name is Michael Berry and I grew up in Montreal West, a town with numerous rail lines passing through. I have always been interested in trains but have been photographing them on a regular basis since 2005. I currently use a Nikon D5300 with a NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G lens. For even more of my photos, check out http://www.flickr.com/photos/mtlwestrailfan/.

It's a busy morning on CN's Montreal Sub as CN B730 passes under the signal gantry at Ballantyne, just east of the eastern entrance to Taschereau Yard. CN 149 is lined on the south track at far left, CN 305 is just behind it and CN 529 has just entered Taschereau Yard. Loaded potash train has the usual complement of 4 AC units (CN 2841 & CN 2850 up front and DPU's CN 2958 & CN 2966) and 205 cars.

VIA 22 from Fallowfield is just about into Central Station in Montreal as it crosses the Lachine Canal with wrapped VIA 907 leading. Behind the rebuilt and repainted VIA 1 LCR car are three unrebuilt LRC cars, still in their original paint scheme.

CN 6200 (a 4-8-4 Northern which is preserved on the grounds in front of the Canada Science and Technology Museum) continues to be refurbished, with a backup headlight added recently. I believe the two cranes in the background are related to work on the nearby Canada Science and Technology Museum, which has been closed for a number of years but is supposed to reopen in the fall.

With 205 loaded potash cars, CN B730 looks like a slithering snake as it heads west through Beaconsfield early in the morning. Power is 4 AC units with CN 2948 & CN 3065 and CN 2876 & CN 2887 mid-train.

As part of Canada's 150th anniversary, CN ran a special Confederation train from Montreal to Ottawa this afternoon. The Confederation Players (a theatre troupe from Charlottetown)went to in Ottawa on this train, as well as numerous politicians, including the mayor of Montreal and Charlottetown. Power is a great looking pair of GP40-2L(W)'s (CN 9590 & CN 9592) and behind are the CN passenger cars Fraser Spirit, Champlain, Tawaw and the Sandford Fleming. Here the train is seen crossing the Lachine Canal a few minutes after leaving Central Station in Montreal.

VIA 669 heads west through Pointe-Claire with VIA 908 (wrapped for Canada's 150th anniversary), followed by 4 LRC cars and 3 Renaissance cars. VIA's Renaissance cars do not operate between Montreal and Toronto anymore (where 669 is heading to) so I'm not sure why they were on this train.

With 17 of VIA Rail's 21 P42DC's wrapped for Canada's 150th anniversary, it's getting rarer to get a non-wrapped one leading; it's also rare to see two P42DC's at the head end of any VIA Rail train. But here unwrapped VIA 902 and wrapped VIA 906 lead VIA 63 by the Peel Basin on a gorgeous morning.

CN 149 is leaving the Port of Montreal with two standard cab units that CN picked up secondhand (SD60 CN 5482 & C40-8 CN 2100), with CN 2648 third. The train is leaving the port a bit later than usual as it crosses the Lachine Canal.

Closed as recently as last week (and since the end of last summer), I was glad to discover that the tower that I took this shot from (controlled by Parks Canada) was open at lunch today, especially since a friend had let me know that a CN transfer was leaving the port. Also open for the summer are food stands Tacobox and Muvbox, seen at bottom left. Seen from this elevated vantage point, CN 7228 & CN 4773 cross the Lachine Canal with 5 cars.
