Viewing Album:  CP STEAM IN MONTREAL - JUNE 1959
 
By:EDWARD J. OZOG
Dates:6/15/1959 - 6/16/1959
Album Info:In June of 1959 I traveled by RDC's to Montreal from Rhode Island over the NH, B&M and CP to see steam while it was still plentiful on the Canadian Pacific. Early the morning after an evening arrival I was at Windsor station to see a procession of commuter trains arrive powered by steam. I then spent the middle of the day at the Glen passenger engine terminal to watch steam being serviced for late afternoon runs. I watched the outward bound steam hauled trains at Westmount and the next morning I was at Montreal West to see the inbound steam parade again. From the station I followed the tracks to the St.Luc yard and freight engine terminal. I was fortunate to ride the cab of Hudson 2819 on a freight but had to catch a bus back to Windsor Station. In the afternoon I was back at Windsor station where I watched the commuter trains leave and then boarded a sleeping car for McAdam, N.B.

RAILFAN WEATHER
Title:  RAILFAN WEATHER
Description:  I was at Windsor Station early the morning after my arival in Montreal but there was fog and drizzzle. Nevertheless, the arrival of eight steam powered trains in about an hour brightened my day. I shot this On the lead into Windsor Station but realized I was too close to the station because it was where engineers closed the throttle and drifted into the station with a clean exhaust. Pacific 2408 is a CP G3g built in 1942. Train is No.180 with eight cars.
