The eastbound Laser pulls in for a crew change as the westbound departs, and the tail-ends of both trains are about to pass each other:
This two-hour visit to Belleville also netted three VIA trains, eastbound and westbound locals, and a westbound Laser.

Nice pictures...wider than usual. The CN was quite a bit more interesting than. Thoes Laser Intermodal trains look pretty cool!

Hi Elijah, yes I scanned these on our newer scanner - pleased with the way they came out. The Lasers will be a future post - they used CN 5-pak well cars, no Trailer Train or COFC.
Happy new year,
Eric
