In August 1984, I was on a big solo rail adventure. Among the places I visited by train was Montreal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My friend Brandon Delaney had recommended Dorval as a place to watch trains. Here, double-track Canadian Pacific and Canadian National mainlines ran parallel to each other and there was a continuous parade of freight and passenger trains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On August 14th<\/sup>, I traveled out on commuter train from Windsor Station and spent several hours soaking up the action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the trains I photographed was this eastbound VIA RDC set on the CN heading for Central Station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
