I put my wide-angle lens to good use on this trip! I would have taken this pic shortly after getting onto Autoroute 20 after eating at Subway.
One reason I like doing roadtrips from Toronto to Nova Scotia is because the drive through Quebec is scenic. It's more wide-open, and has some drumlins in the distance that create a kind of rural skyline.

In the 2025 timetable, trains stopped serving the stop of Ligerz to enable the building of a double-track tunnel around the village. As Ligerz is also the starting point of a cable car towards Plateau de Diesse, that high plains needed an alternative public transport offer, which led to the introduction of Postauto route 135, connecting Prèles, Diesse and Lamboing to Ligerz' neighbouring station of Twann. The bus just left the historic village of Twann and will climb up the 400 altitude meters up to Lamboing in the next 10 minutes. The light on that day was quite ugly because of large amounts of Sahara dust brought by southern winds.

With the recent merger between Canadian Pacific (CP) and Kansas City Southern (KCS) to form CPKC, it's become common to see KCS road power around the Chicagoland area. However, local power has been a rare sight. As far as I know, KCS 2016—one of the six (or so) GP38-2s in the iconic 'Gray Ghost' scheme on the CPKC roster—along with a few other locomotives in the Belle-painted scheme, are the only examples of KCS local power operating between Bensenville and Saint Paul.
For this reason, 248 was a big deal that night. Four-axle EMDs are almost unheard of leading long-distance road trains in the Big 25, let alone one in the Gray Ghost livery.
Originally, KCS SD70MAC #3942 was slated to lead the 70-car-long train solo, but mechanical issues out of Saint Paul prevented it from doing so. Presumably, with no other road power readily available, the next best option was none other than KCS 2016.
Given these unique circumstances, I knew I couldn’t miss the opportunity. So, I stayed out at Northbrook with a few fellow railfans until around 1 a.m. when train 248 finally passed by—a sight I didn't even think was possible anymore.
In east of Chislehurst, close to A20 by Sidcup.
