Well before the directional running zone existed, VIA Rail's Super Continental (per public timetable effective April 27, 1980), is seen southbound over the trestle at Parry Sound. Departing from CP's Sudbury station, the number 4 would take CP rails to Boyne, where it would cross to CN trackage for the run to Toronto. Scan and editing by Jacob Patterson.

    I hope that for VIAs 50th in 2028….they’ll weap some of their engines and cars in this classic scheme. Its still my favourite!

    Great photo John. Even the cars still painted in CNs passenger scheme make this more enjoyable.
