CPR FP-9A #1409, Glen Yard, Montreal, QUe, 03-21-1977

I had a friend who worked in the CP's Power Bureau when it was based out of Montreal and often I would take No 41 to Montreal spending the day with Bruce catching No 40 or 42 home, same train just different departure time out of Montreal. This was done so folks could make connection with the Princess of Acadia that provided ferry service to Digby and to the stations along the Dominion Atlantic. While the CP was still providing passenger service all trains were serviced at Glen Yard just a short distance from Windsor Station. As The Atlantic Limited seldom warranted 3 units during the final years of operating it by assumption that this consist is for The Canadian, wonder if that RS-10 will run through to Vancouver? As I understand Glen Yard is no more.
