Day 4.3 - a photo on Flickriver

Day 4.3

            After missing the QNSL mixed freight with the SD40-2 duo, I headed south for QCM knowing the weekly employees passenger train was running.

On Wednesday every week, QCM operates an employees passenger train south from Mont-Wright to Port-Cartier picking up and dropping off employees at the many remote work camps on the railroad. Arriving around noon the train is then prepped for the return trip, normally departing PC in the evening. 

For equipment a regular EMD or GE road unit is used, while the train itself is comprised of two former boxcars rebuilt into HEP/Baggage cars along with a handful of former NJ Transit passenger cars. 

On this night the train departed a little later than usual, allowing me extra time to climb to the top of the hill overlooking the Mile 30 tunnel. Unfortunately light was pretty much gone by the time the train arrived and the results weren't the best, but I was happy to catch one of the least documented trains on the railroad. 

The locomotive used on this trip was ES44AC 099, one of 6 (094-099) built for ArcelorMittal's operations in Africa. The units were never sent there and were diverted to the QCM operation instead.
