Jackman Winter Scene
I've been wanting to get back up to Maine so here's another look back from my last trip up that way earlier in the year.
After a quick crew change the American crew is on board Canadian Pacific train 250 (Montreal St. Luc Yard to Brownville Junction, ME manifest) and starting the train on its home stretch. This is MP 73.6 on CP's Moosehead Subdivision and at right is the original Canadian Pacific station erected in 1910, now unused and derelict it amazingly was a stop for VIA Rail's Atlantic until 1994.
Providing the sole power was a pair of SD40-2F Barns CMQ 9017 and 9020 (GMDD London, ON blt. Nov. 1988 for CP with the same numbers). The 9017 received this Bangor and Aroostook heritage scheme in 2016 at the historic former BAR Derby shops to honor one of CMQ's component roads.
To learn more about this railroad and some history check out the detailed caption with this shot from last summer of a westbound train at this same spot: flic.kr/p/2j8jsNW
