Railpictures.ca - Michael Berry Photo: A trio of GP9′s (CN 7226, CN 7054 & CN 7083) are switching Pointe St-Charles Yard. Behind them is the Montreal Sub and behind that is the skyline of downtown Montreal. In front of them are tracks leading to the AMT Pointe-Saint-Charles Maintenance Centre. This is the view from a new park that overlooks the yard just west of it, along Sebastopol Street. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

3 GP9′s (no slug or GP38 mixed in), this seems like a rare event to me. I would have to go back a long time in my memory to recall a similar scene. There is almost always a slug in there somewhere here in the Edmonton area.

It’s certainly not unheard of here in Montreal, I’ve seen this job with three GP9′s from time to time (though 2 GP9′s or 1 GP9 & a GP38-2 are much more common)
