In my world it was rare to see three of these "HR"616 locomotives making up the power for any train. Somebody had a lot of faith.:o) I would have followed this train, but the light was fading fast; and this was the last shot I was able to get of the train. Seeing CN 2114, 2113 and 2110, a trio of Bombardier units was a real treat. They weren't around long though, as all were off the roster in under three more years. The first two units shown here went to NRE. The 2110? I have no idea. Maybe cut up for cat food cans.........oh no, those are aluminum.........whatever....
