Crossing the Yamaska River at sunrise
Autumn leaves, yellow locos, blue skies and rising sun... 3 ex-ATSF C30-7 soldier on, leaving the Farnham yard and heading to Maine. Puffs of smoke where the icing on the cake ;)
View of the Farnham yard. MMA 8539 and 8525 assembling MMA#1 train for Montreal.
Leaving the Farnham yard, the St-Guillaume turn is crossing the Yamaska river and heading to the St-Hyacinthe grain silos. Kudos to Railfan60 for the inspiration!
Smoker or non-smoker? MMA 8536 in the back of 8525 obviously having engine problems at idle...
This locomotive and van had just been recently painted and put on display.
Consist stopped at the entrance of the city and crew is leaving. The Farnham yard crew will take charge of this trio of C30-7 in an hour from now.
Ready to proceed South on Sherbrooke Subdivision
