My CN ETT No,42 dated effective April 26th 1981 shows a VIA #83 departing Toronto Union Station at 14:00 hours, so this is probably it. London arrival time (via the Oakville + Dundas Subs) 16:10hrs, Sarnia arrival time 17:30 hrs.

Nothing in this era used 4 engines on the Guelph line. This train is definitely headed to London and beyond.
I probably had a VIA timetable at this time, and I certainly could have looked up train numbers and destinations, but I was young and foolish.
