A rare move. 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 Algoma Equinox.

    That design kind of reminds me of a Sweep or an Alco Design say an S12 or S13. I especially love the Slug! Great catch!
