Caption: Old school grain train power. An empty grain train from Quebec City with three CP SD40-2's and an ex-SOO SD60 (CP 5949, CP 5743, CP 5773 & CP 6252) are nearly at the end of their run as they approach St-Luc yard in Montreal last winter. While the train has CP power and is on CP trackage here, it is a Quebec-Gatineau train and crew. Quite a number of grain trains run from Montreal to Quebec City every winter along this route, and the power is all-EMD as heavier GE's are not permitted on the route.
