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 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3G ED VR lens. For even more of my photos, check out http://www.flickr.com/photos/mtlwestrailfan/.

CSXT 400 and CSXT 4049 lead a short CN 327 (63 cars) through Pointe-Claire. Up front are a long string of gons (both new and old ones) containing zinc ore that will be set off at Coteau.

CP 9712 and a multimarked but heavily tagged hopper bring up the rear of ethanol train CP 650. Hard to believe it's the middle of November, with quite a bit of snow on the ground and very frigid temperatures today.

CN 3869 & CN 3101 lead a later than usual CN 149 out of the Port of Montreal on a very cold but but very sunny morning. Montreal had gotten over half a foot of snow the day before, though some trees have still not shed their leaves.

A shorter than usual CN 120 (456 axles vs an average of 620-630 axles) is exiting Taschereau Yard with CN 2875, CN 2964, CN 2655 & CN 2622 for power (and no DPU, uncommon), the last of which is isolated in deference to its shorter length.

CN 310 with CN 5617 and CN 2548 passes two sets of signal gantries at Dorval Station on a sunny but cold morning, with the one at left living on borrowed time. Get your shots of CN's SD70I's while you can, as it is rumoured that they will be rebuilt as SD70ACC's in the near future.

Boxcab CN 6710 had been displayed beside the Deux-Montagnes station until it was moved to a new location along the Rivière Mille Îles (seen here) just yesterday. According to the town of Deux-Montagnes (who I believe owns the locomotive), it will be restored by next summer; welcome news given how badly this veteran has deteriorated. CN 6710 was built by General Electric and delivered to the Canadian Northern as CNoR 600 in 1919. It was used on the electrified Deux-Montagnes line until being retired in 1995.

A transfer for the Port of Montreal with empty well cars heads east through Montreal West with a pair of now retired NS standard cab GE's (NS 8821 & NS 8698). At left is CN X309. NS 8821 was rebuilt into NS 4063, which was wrecked and scrapped in 2018.

AMT 1344 and various passenger cars are in EXO's Pointe-Saint-Charles Maintenance Centre. AMT 1344 had been used earlier that week on a test train that ran from the CN St-Laurent Sub, through Taschereau Yard onto CN's Montreal Sub, a route that Mascouche trains are expected to take starting at some point in 2020 due to the multi-year closure of the Mount Royal tunnel.

The cosmetic restoration of VIA 6309 (made possible by a successful fundraising campaign) is now finished and it is seen coupled to some AMT equipment on a sunny morning. Interestingly enough, sister unit VIA 6302 was leased to the AMT in 1999 and would have been coupled to the same type of car as seen here (see John Eull's shot: http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=11301). Soon VIA 6309 will enter the Angus Pavilion as part of the permanent collection.

CN 7229 & CN 4129 are about to leave Ray-Mont Logistics after dropping of three loaded grain cars. This client is located adjacent to CN's Montreal Sub and Pointe St-Charles Yard and grain is transloaded here for further shipment.

With only 54 cars in tow, CN 327 heads west on the north track as it approaches Caron at MP 19.7 of CN's Kingston Sub. Power is CSXT 9051 & CSXT 9027, both Dash8-44CW's. This CSX-only model is a Dash8-40CW externally, but a Dash9 internally. Built with 4400 horsepower, they have since been derated to 4000 horsepower and CSX now classifies them as CW40-9's.

CN 5516, IC 2457 and NS 2522 provide power on a CN 120 with a very interesting lashup. Since this photo was taken CN 5516 was retired and NS 2522 was converted to SD70ACC NS 1818. As well, CN 120 is now run with a DPU 99% of the time, so the chance of a cowl leading is negligible.
