Both major Canadian roads were using Alco design diesels long after they were gone in the US. Seeing them in the lead was common, such as this 85 car westbound at Dorval. |

252 with unusual power |
| Description: |
252 rolls south over the Harpursville bridge behind a trio of 40's. The two trailing units are notable. The middle unit is an ex SOU unit that was converted to a B unit by CP; they changed it by removing the seats and control stand, and boarding up the windows-yes, boarding up: they used plywood. The trailing unit is ex Greater Winnipeg Water District, and a trade from CN-note the road number that falls into CN's SD40 series. |

413 rolls through BX |
| Description: |
At one time, this location was BX tower, where the D&H crossed the DLW Syracuse & Utica lines. Its been modified quite a bit since then-the ex DLW is now a switching lead for the fzed plant, and the DLW YO yard is long gone. Even the D&H Bevier St yard is a shadow of itself. Train 413 starts north to Montreal, passing the Agway plant here with 73 cars. |

CP 164 arrives from Montreal behind the usual set of SDs, passing through Bevier St on its way to the NS crossing at BD and East Binghamton yard. The second unit looks like it's seen a bit of heavy weather. |

Kicking it up |
| Description: |
CP 164 kicks up a good rooster tail as it approaches Nowlan Rd. The train is a little more distinct now that the heavy snow a few miles back has eased. In a moment it will pass the detector at MP 607, and in another ten will be asking for permission through BD. |
