Comments on: About 20 miles east of Regina lies the community of Balgonie, Saskatchewan. VIA No. 2, “the Canadian” breaks the stillness of a Sunday morning as it makes its east towards Broadview, Brandon and Winnipeg then eventually Thunder Bay, Sudbury, Toronto and Montreal. The 18 car train with three F units was a pretty typical summer consist at this time. Believe it or not, a second pair of passenger trains also plied these rails at the time; Nos. 109 and 110 between Winnipeg and Regina over CP rails then Regina-Saskatoon over CN lines. (Those trains replaced the full service Super Continental between Winnipeg and Saskatoon from November 15, 1981 until June 3, 1984 when the Winnipeg-Saskatoon-Edmonton-Prince Rupert “Panorama” was introduced, restoring service over CN between Saskatoon and Portage la Prairie.)
