Chip Train - a photo on Flickriver

Chip Train

            SFG Train 565-11 rolls slowly towards Matapédia, Quebec with a short cut of exSP woodchip cars in tow. 

After years of talking about it, I finally pulled the trigger and went up to chase SFG. Although the weather conditions weren't ideal, the trip was very much a success.
 SFG, is the current operator of the Cascapedia Subdivision and operates a fleet of six MLW RS-18u's and is one of three shortlines in Quebec to still operate locomotives from that builder. 

Track work is on going, with recent rail and brush cutting being visible in many locations. All of that work is part of the extensive project to reopen the line to Gaspé, QC by 2026 for passenger and freight trains. 

Thanks to all those who helped me out by providing information on this railroad as well as on the operations!
