How does the train that goes to Northern Quebec, via Ahunstic and Pointe-Aux-Trembles stations, leave the north-end of the Mont-Royal tunnel, if only electric locomotives are allowed through?

A look at a map shows more population in the eliminated stretch than between Senneterre and Hervey Jct.Yes, there is more population between Senneterre and Cochrane, but there are also public roads, too. That cannot be said for a lot of the stops between Senneterre and Hervey Jct. Many of these places are isolated lodges, camps and villages where the train is the only way in or out.
