CANADIAN NATIONAL #6730 LEADS A WESTBOUND TRAIN STOPPING AT VAL ROYAL STATION - SAINT LAURENT, MONTREAL, QUEBEC, CANADA - JULY 18, 1977
After CN transferred their countrywide passenger services into the new VIA system, they still remained in the passenger business. Like here in Montreal, where they operated an electrified commuter system since it was built in 1918 until 1982, when it too was transferred out of the CN system. It was a unique and pretty cool operation if you ask me, and for unknown reasons, I was wise enough to pay it a visit. One of the neatest stations on the line was Val Royal, where we see a MU train making it's station stop. I sure wish I could still go out and shoot some spotless, good looking, MU trains like this one these days.
