CPR Cornwall Subdivision
Originally Glengarry and Storemont Ry.
Line opened in May 1915 from St-Polycarpe Junction (Soulanges) to
Cornwall.
It was promptly leased to the CPR for 99 years. It was abandoned December
25, 1995.
Extra 8588 West looks to have lots of power for its short train!
In fact, the 4 trailing units are all on idle.
They are deadheading on the Cornwall Swing to Vaudreuil for the Monday
morning suburban trains.

RS-10 is for the Cornwall Swing.
On Sundays, wed deadhead 3 commuter units backwards for him
to set off at Vaudreuil for the eastbound commuter trains on Monday
morning. We had them lifted eastbound by #58 on Friday and St. Luc
would use them locally until Sundays #55. And often the Friday
units were scattered all over the place, and 3 different units would
go out on Sunday. LBC
