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/.

The last time I shot a westbound train under this signal bridge at Coteau there were 3 sets of signals for 3 sets of tracks. Since then the Ottawa Freight track and its corresponding signals have been removed at left. Here CN 377 speeds under the modified signal bridge with CN 2230 at the head end (and CN 8806 mid-train).

CSXT 5207 & CSXT 416 lead a 78-car CN 327 through Coteau-du-Lac on a gorgeous and warm afternoon. Up next is a set-off at Coteau and then heading south for interchange with CSX before a CSX crew takes it across the border.

AMT 1359 leads AMT 816 past Wellington Tower and over the Lachine Canal. At bottom left is a very small piece of track that used to be part of CN's line to the Port of Montreal.

Three ex-CP RS-18's (two recently repainted into an SP Black Widow-inspired paint scheme) lead a train consisting of 72 flat cars holding 48 windmill blades (as well as 1 loaded woodchip car up front), on its way nearby Matapedia and interchange with the CN. These windmill blades are destined for Texas and represent a new business for the Société du chemin de fer de la Gaspésie, which runs this scenic ex-CN line.

Joining in on the endcab theme.... CANAC used to have a facility near Taschereau Yard in Montreal where for a number of years you were very likely run into endcab switchers, both GMD and MLW. Here is CN 7310, which apparently became DLCX 24, current disposition unknown.

<b>This is the end...</b> After years of continuous deterioration (and neglect), the city of Farnham has announced that M636 CP 4723 has been sold to a scrapper and will be cut up on site shortly. I've been visiting Farnham and photographing this engine since 2005 and I will be sad to see it go. I visited Farnham this weekend to photograph it one last time.

CN 5782 & CN 2256 lead CN 401 past St-Lambert Station just before sunset. CN 401 would meet counterpart CN 400 a bit further ahead on the Victoria Bridge.

CN 2115 is looking very clean as it teams with CN 8848 to bring a 98-car CN 393 through Montreal West the day after Montreal got a decent amount of snow. On the long hood of CN 2115 is an illustration commemorating the 15th anniversary of CN being privatized, which took place in 1995.

VIA 67 with VIA 6426 leading is about to stop at Dorval Station. At left is CP 119 (with CP 9350, CP 2278 & CP 8844), which will also be heading west shortly. At right is a new overpass which will soon go over the CN and CP tracks here.

It's officially spring, but there's still a bit ice on the St. Lawrence River and it's -10 as AMT 76 makes its way towards the island of Montreal during the morning rush hour.

<b>A rare move.</b> Slug POM 2008 and RP20BD POM 1003 are stopped over the Lachine Canal with a short train consisting of lengths of rail on CP flatcars and loaded coil steel cars. This is a rare move, as they are on the CN Wharf Spur (and not Port of Montreal trackage). This is the first time I have ever seen a Port of Montreal train in this section of the port. The train would depart after port security showed up and flagged the nearby crossing. Behind the power is the <i>Algoma Equinox</i>.

<b>22 years apart.</b> GE locomotives built 22 years apart (ET44AC CN 3068 built in 2016 and Dash9-44CWL CN 2505 built in 1994) lead Joffre Yard-Taschereau Yard CN 401 towards Turcot West, with autoracks at the head end as always (with Mercdes-Benz's from Europe). In the background along the banks of the Lachine Canal is the Lasalle Coke crane, which was used to bring coal from boats to the LaSalle Coke factory.

<b>NS power all over the place in Eastern Canada.</b> NS power enters Montreal on a daily basis on run-through train CN 529 (aka CP 931, aka NS 31T) but that NS power is sometimes used on other trains, and today must have been a record example, with NS units leading CN 407 in Nova Scotia and CN 327, CN 461 and CN 527 in the Montreal area. Here CN 527 approaches Taschereau Yard with NS 9293, NS 8981 & CN 2673.

CP 119 is slowly starting to pull from Dorval with CP 9350, CP 2278 & CP 8844 for power on a beautiful winter afternoon. In the foreground is CN's parallel Montreal Sub and at right is a new overpass which will soon go over the CN and CP tracks here.
