|    Shiny new CN hopper cars eastbound on Hi    |
|    31 Dec 16 13:31:26    |
      We were driving west on Highway 138 in Quebec about a week ago, maybe       20 minutes east of Mont Sainte Anne, and saw something very odd -- a       convoy of 4 heavy haul trucks each carrying a brand-new (or newly       repainted), short hopper car with CN markings.              There's a rail line that goes as far as La Malbaie, and supposedly it       does have freight customers, but it's not used in the winter. Aside from       that, is there any rail on the north shore of the St. Lawrence east of       Quebec City at all?              I'm at a bit of a loss where these could have been going, and why.              Anyone have any ideas?              --        Thor Lancelot Simon tls@panix.com                Ring the bells that still can ring.              --- SoupGate/W32 v1.03        * Origin: LiveWire BBS -=*=- UseNet FTN Gateway (1:2320/1)    |
