Comments on: Certainly one of the shortest VIA #9, All Budd (built for CPR): baggage, coach, Skyline, 2 Manor sleeping cars, and Assiniboine Park GMD 1954 built FP9A 6510 leads the daily VIA #9, the Toronto section of the Canadian Canadien, to a 19:50 arrival at CPR Sudbury to meet with daily Train #1 originating from Montreal CN Central station where #9 will be combined with the Montreal coach, the dining car and the Montreal sleeping car. VIA #9 at CN Don, (CP Don), TTR Don, January 31, 1987 Kodachrome by S.Danko More Don: Canadian Canadien: FP9A 6510 That automobile, with the bashed in driver door, is motoring on the Bayview Extension and is likely a late seventies (1978) Oshawa built Pontiac LeMans / Oldsmobile Cutlass / Chevrolet Chevelle. sdfourty http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

A couple of times I went all the way to Vancouver with only a Skyline car as a diner. In the mid to late 1970s the CPR Canadian was even shorter. The typical consist of the Toronto section (#11 & 12) was baggage, coach, Skyline, diner and one Chateau sleeper. I missed the Park car very much, but at least it always had a diner.
