Caption: With hours of delays already incurred, be it from heavy traffic as the result of a derailment or encountering trespassers on the Cherrywood trestle, CP 7019 leads CP 40B as it heads east on the CP Belleville Subdivision, about to head under Highway 401 on approach to Lovekin siding. Ultimately the train would end up in Montreal that evening, before continuing the next day south to Saratoga Springs, NY.

Very good picture Josh ! Nice to see “varnish” on CP’s Belleville Sub (formerly Trenton Sub) in daylight, something that happened only rarely even in the ‘50’s. On June 30, 1955, I was lucky enough to travel on the daytime CPR SS Homeric Boat Train to Montreal and Wolfe’s Cove Quebec City over this line, a great trip. Very interesting lash-up, and being a “traditionalist”, love the motive power grey and maroon colour scheme but for me it would have been nicer to see the “A” unit leading the “B” unit. Thanks for posting ? Question – why was the train going to Saratoga Springs NY ? I believe the race track season there is over. John
