Another expermintal train that ran on the CN Lines around Montreal,
1993/94
""MOQ", short for "Maritimes-Ontario-Quebec" was a strange road-railer which operated briefly over the CN around Montreal in 1993 and 1994. It consisted of a cab which resembled an LRC cab, a "power cube", and a highway trailer with road-railer style trucks. It had a very short career on the CN main line from Montreal to Toronto, and then was sent to Quebec City to haul woodchips from Donnacona to St.Felicien. From there, it vanished into history. Does anyone know how long it operated in northern Quebec, and what was its final fate?" |

EMDX 7102 backs up on across a small CN bridge, using CN/CP shared
track across the Western Irrigation Canal
on August 8th, 2018, on a task between Alyth Yard and Alstom (formerly CP Ogden Shops); with a load of coil cars. This view is from a frame of a sequence shot by Massey and posted at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSs4KkgoUQU The locomotive was built by the Electromotive Division of General Motors (EMD) as high hood GP9 unit CP 8511 (Ser# A 709) in November 1954. Its nose was chopped and it was renumbered to CP 1637 in November 1986, before being shipped to CAD Railway Industries in Montreal in May 2007 and fitted with a "greener" and more economical engine, under the EMD's 710ECO repower program. Losing the GP9 designation and becoming GP22ECO Demonstrator EMDX 7102. The complete list all the ECO units ever built at: http://www.trainweb.org/gensets/emd.html View a photo of its predecessor, EMDX 7101 and the advantage of ECO units at: http://www.progressrail.com/repowered- locomotives-710ECO.asp The canal is a diversion of the Bow River starting just east of downtown (Harvey Passage), to an artificial lake at Chestermere, 26 km away. It is run by the Western Irrigation District to supply farmers with extra water for their crops and is a mixture of glacier and Calgary treated waste water. The bridge was likely built around 1944, when the WID was established and CNR needed to collect military equipment from the Ogden Shops for the War Effort. It might be older but probably not centenarian. |
