Thumbs Up!
The head man CN 393 seems to approve of my location at Lennoxville, Quebec even though it's a blatant violation to stand in the gauge. Notice the shine on the rails to the right. CPR would come from Sherbrooke,(behind me), to here and use those rails to go back to Sherbrooke to the CN in order to interchange cars. This was also the way to the Quebec Central to Newport, VT. VIA's Atlantic, which during CP years of operation would come straight through this diamond, travels via the CN from Montreal to Sherbrooke, and transverse those rails twice a day to get onto the CP track to go to and from Saint John. A note, all this needed a back up move through the interchange except when heading for Newport.
