I'm not sure which eastbound passenger train this was, but by the look of the sun angle it might be #74. It was nice to catch some of those old F units still in CN paint, as VIA was just taking a foothold and eventually most of the passenger equipment would get painted over to the blue & yellow scheme. The 6786 is assisted by what appears to be VIA 6625.
