Railpictures.ca - Stephen C. Host Photo: RPDX 6539, owned by the VIA Rail Historical Association, a great group working to preserve VIA’s history, is pictured passing the DeBruyen farm in Salford in the late fall last year. This unit is now at TMC in the west end of the facility parked with the rest of the Museum equipment. For those new to the scene, this was former OSR 1400 (Gardiner) and RLK 1400.

My childhood summed up right there, in those 3 classic colors of the VIA fleet of time past. Great photo!
