#919 8921-1806 westbound Mud Lake trestle Mile 27.3 Belleville Sub.

Sunday, October 16, 1994, CPR eastbound Detroit-Montreal intermodal freight #508 is seen traversing the north shore of Christie Lake, Ont., near Mile 26 of the Belleville Subdivision. The relatively short 45-platform train is being easily handled by RS-18u's #1831, #1826 and #1817. All were retired in 1997 and 1998, and were not among those RS-18u's that were sold to other roads. Bill Sanderson

NOTE: It is decades after new RS-18's first hauled piggyback trains between Montreal and Toronto, yet here they are again back on the main line hauling intermodal traffic once again and not looking at all like typical smoky Alcos!

VIA trains did not normally operate on the Belleville Sub. but VIA units did during times of power shortage.

GO trains did not operate on the Belleville Sub. but, GO units often did.
