THis is '2 trains' combined together, one from Senneterre, the other from Jonquière, they are coupled together in Hervey Jct . One will say that this train is 'overpowered'. The reason is that the train to Jonquière has been requiring 2 locos for at least 8 months, since the turntable in Jonquière, to turn the locos, is not 'operational', and it seems that CN does not want to repair it.

This is a route in serious need of conversion to diesel multiple units. Those locos hauled 10 double decker coaches EACH when in commuter service! The amount of fuel burned per seat must be incredible.

There are almost more locomotives than cars, why?
