Album Info:In June of 1959 I traveled by RDC's to Montreal from Rhode Island over the NH, B&M and CP to see steam while it was still plentiful on the Canadian Pacific. Early the morning after an evening arrival I was at Windsor station to see a procession of commuter trains arrive powered by steam. I then spent the middle of the day at the Glen passenger engine terminal to watch steam being serviced for late afternoon runs. I watched the outward bound steam hauled trains at Westmount and the next morning I was at Montreal West to see the inbound steam parade again. From the station I followed the tracks to the St.Luc yard and freight engine terminal. I was fortunate to ride the cab of Hudson 2819 on a freight but had to catch a bus back to Windsor Station. In the afternoon I was back at Windsor station where I watched the commuter trains leave and then boarded a sleeping car for McAdam, N.B.
