Comments on: An afternoon down at VIA’s Brockville Station finds CN RS18 3125 and a VIA 6600-series B-unit handling train #54 for Montreal, while 6793 sits on the station pocket track in charge of #44′s consist for Ottawa. Both ran from Toronto as a combined eastbound #44-54 consist until arriving at Brockville, where the consist would be split, a spare unit at the station would couple to #44′s cars, and each separate train would then continue on to its respective destination. After the 1981 cuts to VIA, equipment from The Canadian ran between Toronto and Montreal on corridor trains #53 and #54, hence the stainless steel ex-CP equipment from The Canadian shown in today’s consist of VIA #54 running through (there’s more information on this arrangement on Trackside Treasures).

An answer…3 years later… that’s a Cafe Lounge.

Any idea what the second car (behind the baggage car) is Bill, or others? It seems to have an unusual window configuration.
