Passenger trains 213/214 did originate and terminate there
for a time. Those were originally RPO-equipped Montreal-Newport
locals which were cut back to Sutton in the early '50's then
further cut back to Farnham at least as of Laurentian & Farnham
Div. ETT #27 of 4/30/67. Given their timing I'd guess by then
they were commuter runs. Anybody know if they retained the RPO
that late?

They were RDCs. Three cars with two locked out and passengers given no option but to ride the centre car. If they're the trains you're referring to. Outbound sometime in the morning as I and some volunteers used to take them out to the Canadian Railway Museum at St. Constant and got there between 09:00 and 10:00?

Cheers
