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/.

Built at the Canadian Vickers shipyard in Montreal, the MR-63 Metro cars faithfully served Montreal's Metro system from 1966 until June 2018, when the last ones were retired. This car was completely cleaned, sanded and repainted into its original 1966 colours at the STM Place D'Youville shops and was delivered to Exporail just this week. This car was the first one delivered and was also the one used for official photos featuring mayor Jean Drapeau and other dignitaries in August 1966, just before the Metro system opened to the public.

Park Car <i>Sibley Park</i> has recently been moved into Exporail's main building (the Angus pavilion) where it is expected to be restored cosmetically. It takes the place of the <i>Dominion of Canada</i> steam engine beside Royal Hudson CP 2850.

In a not very common move, CN 527 is heading into the Port of Montreal light power with CN 2941 & CN 2609. It will pick up cars to bring to Taschereau yard and combine it with the rest of its train, which was left on the Butler Spur. In the background is the cruise ship <i>Viking Sea</i>.

One of only five CN 4-6-4 Hudson's built (and one of two preserved), CN 5702 is seen out in the sun on a lovely summer afternoon. Relegated to 'b-status' in the hangar behind it for decades, it was being moved to the Angus Pavillion and entered it earlier today. Featuring 80 inch drivers, these speedy class of locomotives routinely reached speeds of 100 mph in passenger service. I was glad to get a sunny shot of it for the first time.

With its namesake Mont-Orford looming in the background, the <i>Orford Express</i> is crossing the Eastman trestle before changing directions and heading east to Sherbrooke. Leading is the only FL9 in use in Canada.

Preserved GE boxcab CN 6710 is looking even worse then when I shot it in January 2016 and it seems it may only be a matter of time before it gets scrapped.

Rebuilt GE CP 8000 leads CP 650 through St-Mathieu. This loaded ethanol train has CP 8861 on the rear as it makes its way towards Rouses Point, NY, where an American crew will get onboard. Of note is that CP 8000 is riding on steerable trucks, something found on some of the 8000-series rebuilds, but not on any of the 8100-series rebuilds as far as I know.

A CN transfer with CN 7054 & CN 4704 for power is leaving the Port of Montreal on a sunny afternoon. Up front are a common sight on these transfers, LATX hoppers coming from or going to the Lantic sugar facility that is served via the Port of Montreal. Here loads are coming out, eventually headed to Lantic's blending facility in Toronto.

SD70M-2 CN 8880 and very faded CN 5722 lead a 133-car CN 377 through Dorval Station. While it was sunny when this train passed, it would soon darken and it was pouring 15 minutes later.

Since this past Monday, all VIA Rail and CN trains have been taking a new right-of-way between St-Henri and Turcot West In Montreal. A long time in coming, this new right-of-way was necessitated by the ongoing reconstruction of the Turcot interchange and nearby connecting highways. Here CN 401 is passing under a fairly new set of signal bridges as it curves from the left on the new right-of-way; the old right-of-way curved off to the right here (where the pile of ties are). Power on CN 401 is CN 2544, CEFX 1007 & CN 227.

A long time in coming, this new right-of-way was necessitated by the ongoing reconstruction of the Turcot interchange and nearby connecting highways. Here CN 120 with CN 8812, CN , CN 2121 & DPU CN 2221 take the north track of the new right-of-way during a brief period of sunshine. The old right-of-way curves off to the left here, just past the signal bridges.

The final train to run on the Doney & St-Francois spurs and the final CN 564 stops to open the fence just before picking up the last 4 cars on the line (hoppers at Ipex). They were supposed to start pulling up the tracks today already, in preparation for the construction of REM's light rail line to the Trudeau airport to begin.
