A westbound train from Quebec City powered by GMD FP9A CP 1413 is arriving at Trois-Rivieres station, with passengers travelling to Montreal on the platform to board. Over to the left (east) is the freight yard with boxcars predominant. The grey coaling tower has a continuing purpose as a high place for yard lighting. MLW RS-10 CP 8561 in CP Rail paint can be seen to the right of the tower working the yard, while a maroon and grey RS-23 switcher is to its left. A yard worker is standing on the between-tracks platform; he could be figuring out CP 8561's next switching moves. The building at left across the tracks masks the yard office and roundhouse beyond it; a pile of winter snow lingers beside it. Caboose track is left of that building, just out of the picture.
