Westbound through the Skoona Tunnels at Seddall on the CN Ashcroft Sub. Both CN and CP use this trackage. I had no scanner at the time so had no idea which line was running. ISO 100 / 75 mm / 30 sec. / f5.6

$Over the years VIA Rail attempted several transcontinental train combinations, all with cost savings in mind. The first major change occurred after the late summer 1978 take over of CP Rail passenger service. Via initially settled on the ex CP Rail The Canadian equipment to operate on CP track to/from Montreal through Sudbury, Calgary, Banff to Vancouver and the ex CN Super Continental equipment to operate on CN to/from Toronto via Capreol, Sioux Lookout, Edmonton, Jasper to Vancouver. So witness here the passenger equipment transition to the arrangement as described above: a late and rather under powered Via CP train #12 coming off the Galt Subdivision ( the Mactier Subdivision ends at West Toronto) at Cabin D ( west of Bathurst Street) with CP Rail power (8529 -8423; a GP9 – RS10 ) and (ex CN) Super Continental equipment – all fourteen cars! Presumably this equipment operated on CP through from Winnipeg, the closest CP-CN passenger interchange location. Perhaps CP Rail\'s input on this avoided placing the ex CP passenger 1400 series locomotives ( FP7A / 9 A\'s) to pull the ex CN equipment on CP! And yes that is the on time – 8:35 p.m. Union arrival time - Buffalo Budds Via CP Rail train # 322 ( RDC-3\'s #9023 and 9024) being held for the four plus hour late #12. The time of this negative exposure is 8:30 p.m. on Sunday June 17 (Fathers Day) *:30 PM, the available light was very poor and add to that this is Kodak TriX 400 ASA pan film – hence please accept (excuse if you will) this unique full frame, low contrast and somewhat grainy exposure (the latter the train is the longer you wait!). It would be some six plus years before Toronto would see the ex CPR Budd equipment again. Kodak Tri X Pan b&w negative film. Photographer S.Danko.$

$For a railroader it\'s an awkward piece of cast iron to grasp but yet heavy to handle for those that don\'t know it\'s true weight, but still this 50 lbs piece of cast iron is what holds together those 14,000 ton trains out there.$

The sun is about to duck under the horizon in Mimico as two VIA Rail on-board crewmembers stroll down a service platform at VIA's Toronto Maintenance Centre. Either they have finished a run or they are preparing to board a train bound for points west.
