    Geez !!! Wasn’t it cold enough in Southern Ontario for you? :o )
    Very nice pic, though.
    I can’t quite place this shot. Is the station next to you on your right?

    Nice capture of that always changing VIA consist. Lots to see in your well-framed shot.
    VIA 693 The Hudson Bay, the communication tower, aluminum bungalow, Engineering MoW compound with trucks and equipment, crossing protection signals, and the fibre shelter on the right.
    Keep your pics coming. :-)

    The always changing consist!
    I’ll be making a round trip on VIA 693/692 The Hudson Bay April 28 to May 2. I sure hope there is a Skyline in the consist at that time.
    I have confirmation from recent passengers that breakfast and lunch meals are once again prepared to order by a chef in the Skyline kitchen.
    Fingers crossed I have a ‘normal’ train makeup.
