    Great way-back shot of CP Chateau Roberval.
    46 and 48 years after your nice black and white shot, I have had VIA 8224 Chateau Roberval twice on trips from Winnipeg to Churchill and return.
    Here are a couple of shots of the car from September 19, 2024, and April 30, 2026. It continues to provide a great, comfortable ride all these years after you snapped it in 1978. :-)
