Rob Posted by Tom Hewitt on July 26, 2011  It is still strange to see Montreal commuter cars hauled by a Chinese steam locomotive in Iowa! The first coach still has the old STCUM (Société de transport de la communauté urbaine de Montréal) train logo. Posted by Rich Brown on July 31, 2011  Good spotting, Tom. I was thinking they were former Long Island coaches with the fixed windows having been replaced with ones that could open. You could hardly see anything through the #@+! lexan anyway.
