CN M376 rolls past Dorval VIA Station in Dorval, QC. The train is led by CN ES44AC #3926, an Ex-Citirail (CREX) Leaser that was bought by CN earlier this year.
I live near this point. I pass it often, and each time I think it might make a nice photo someday. On this stormy day, the visibility was poor, and the sun was hidden until I reached this spot and the light came out to illuminate the lake on both sides of the point. That and the flag made this the day!
Passengers board a Toronto-bound Corridor train at Dorval, QC behind a handsome F40 in some beautiful afternoon sunshine.
CN 321 is passing CN 271 (which uncommonly has intermodal up front) at Dorval. Once CN 321 has cleared, CN 271 will follow it westwards on a snowy day.
VIA 67 is departing Dorval after picking up a healthy load of passengers. VIA 6418 leads six LRC cars.
VIA P42DC #900 serves as the trailing locomotive on VIA 62 with VIA F40PH-2D #6408 leading as it departs Dorval for Montréal on a chilly afternoon.
Photo of Dorval Airport hangers in 1946 in Montreal Quebec. My uncle Harry Bowrin used to operate heavy equipment. He may have been working at the airport. A note on the photo says that the cement was being broken up and replaced.
CP 133 with CP 7030 (Lord Strathcona's unit) and CP 8757 (Every Child Matters unit) is heading west after finishing its work at Lachine.
Train 24 starts to pull out of Dorval station and past the search light signals that stand guard here. I noticed a lot of work going on to replace a large amount of the search lights going west out of Montreal and then again some search lights seem to have been updated with LED's and possibly reworked.
CN 368 is heading east through Dorval with CN 3161 leading and two new QNSL AC44C6M's trailing (QNSL 432 & QNSL 433). These were rebuilt at the Erie plant from BNSF Dash9's. Thanks to Lorence Toutant for the headsup on this one.
VIA 912 brings up the rear of a combined VIA 63 and VIA 633 as it leaves Dorval Station. CN 322 is heading east on the north track at right.
CP 4559, I believe a M630, rolls through Dorval, Quebec with what appears to be a sister unit flying the white flags of an extra. On the adjacent track is a CN manifest with three 3 GP40W-2s. As I recall this was a great place to watch trains, although on my visit it was cloudy and rainy, but lots of action.
VIA 67 is making its station stop at Dorval with VIA 909 and four HEP cars in its consist. Quite a large number of passengers are boarding here, an encouraging sign. VIA has also increased the number of trains running in the Montreal-Toronto corridor and is rumoured to be increasing the frequency again in the near future.
VIA train 62 heads east toward Dorval and, eventually, Montreal. A cab car brings up the rear of this matched set. Amtrak's Airo equipment, currently on order, will have a similar appearance and configuration.
EXO 53 led by Bombardier Multilevel #3015 flies into the Dorval EXO Station along the CP Vaudreuil Subdivision in Dorval, QC just west of Montréal.

I landed in Montreal today. Its December so I figured there would be snow. Nope. Only rain and ice. I took this photo from my sisters balcony. Its well below freezing here. Multiple exposure made me cringe from the cold air outside. But I am glad to be here. Looking forward to enjoying Christmas with the family.

The sun is getting ready to set as VIA 39 makes its stop at Dorval Station. At right, CN X321 heads west.
CN 369 is departing Dorval, with CN X371 at right stopped at Dorval, waiting for permission to head west. They are delayed due to an incident involving VIA 61 in Coteau which delayed all VIA Rail and CN freight trains this morning. CN X371 would leave a half hour later.
In the Montreal borough (suburb) of Dorval. I'm not saying this is the proper way to do kayaking. Actually I'm not even sure these are proper kayaks. They were some distance off and I didn't get a close look. This was a telephoto shot at maximum zoom in my Panasonic. They don't look like traditional kayaks. And don't ask me what they were doing.
