VIA 84 waiting to depart Sarnia with F40's 6408 and 6429 in push/pull set up. This sort of set up was unheard of on this run to Sarnia in the past and all VIA trains terminating in Sarnia were forced to wye the trainset before they could do the return run to Toronto, now with enough of the Siemens charger sets available two units can be spared for this run, however most of 84/87's trains are now all Siemens sets and anything else will only get harder to get.

    Shot it on 87 the previous day. I like the push-pull setup; something different compared to the numerous regular VIA shots I have with only one unit up front.
