Three and three |
| Description: |
This 115 car westbound has split the power, three SD 40s leading three big Alcos as it heads through Dorval. In a few years, I'd see most of these units on the D&H. |

Alcos on 557 |
| Description: |
It was not often that 557 got an all Alco consist, especially six axle units. Thus it was a treat to catch this power set on 557 rolling under the "Welcome to the BC Open" bridge under NY 17C at Endicott. As usual, when I see something good, the weather is dismal. Today's train is a short 11 cars. |

Trains 553 and 554 between Montreal and Binghamton often got all Alco consists, and were frequented by six axle units on a regular basis. This set was typical, an M636 and a trio of 4 axle units, here seen rolling through Oneonta. |
