CN 1501 Track Geometry Car working at Aberdeen Rd

by on 2010/03/07


This is an interesting place. The Vankleek Subdivision and Aberdeen Road intersect twice within half a mile (the mileages are 10.92 and 11.46) and highway 417 provides shelter from the rain. This is a 1958 Budd RDC {Rail Diesel Car}. It was originally with CN passenger services, transferred to VIA Rail, then finally back to CN and converted to a track geometry car. It measures all sorts of track parameters. This was its first appearance in the area since CN reacquired the Renfrew, Beachburg and Vankleek lines.
