VIA Rail FP9A 6520 and a B unit sister bring eastbound number 72 into Burlington West station. Built as <a href=http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=34912>CN 6520</a> in March of 1957, the unit would be transferred to VIA 6520 in March 1978, renumbered to <a href=http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=45636>VIA 6306</a> in June 1984 and finally retired from VIA service in 1994. It would serve for three years with Les Trains Touristiques du Saint-Laurent (TTSL 6303) until May 1997, when it would move to Ontario as <a href=http://www.trainweb.org/oldtimetrains/tourist/WSJR_6520.jpg>Waterloo-St. Jacob's Railway 6520.</a> After languishing in Toronto until 2012, it would finally make it's way west to the West Coast Railway Association's site in Squamish, British Columbia, where it was recently restored to <a href=http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=42767>CN's 1961 scheme.</a>

VIA FP9A 6313 adds a nice pop of colour to the scene on this gloomy day at Bayview, where a westbound CN freight led by a pair of M420s has paused for the passage of VIA 72. M420 2530 leads the freight with crew members on the ground to inspect the passenger equipment. <a href=http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=45136>Originally CN (1)</a> and later <a href=http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=12235>VIA 6526, (2)</a> VIA 6313 lives on today, having been sold to the <a href=http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=67825>Ohio Central Railway</a> in 2002, and later to Canadian Pacific in 2006 as one of their <a href=http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=10738>heritage painted F-units, number 4107.</a>
