MM&A with 758 leading: BAD K5H

School is out for 6 weeks, so it's time to get back to editing.

Here's a video from 6 months ago, it's MM&A's train #1 shot 4 times between Lennoxville and Foster, QC. Shot on the longest day of the year, June 21st, 2010. MM&A might be known for being quite slow nowadays, but that's not the case everywhere. Lennoxville and Magog are good spots if you want to see some fast action and plenty of roaring and smoke. All shots are taken towards the end of the day, some nice sweet light shots!

Note that the train had MMA 758 leading, which is of BC Rail origins. It's still got that funky sounding K5H, the MMA hasn't bothered to change it. Maybe fouled horns are more effective at getting people's attention? Also note that the top set of ditch lights has been removed, so 758 is slowly loosing it's unique BC Rail character.

@Kvr3005 Very true, thankfully it's still out being used, and not scrapped by CN like so many others.

Hi Alex. Thanks for sharing with us. It's good to see that you are still doing this.

[RailfanAlex]

@eugenetswong Of course! I've just been busy that's all.

At least this BC RAIL 758 is spared and it is canadian build sd40-2 for BCR. Not many got spared but the American Oneida and Western BCRAIL sd40-2's are saved to HLCX.
