Comments on: During the first weekend in May of 1995, CN threw open it’s Sarnia facilities to the general public in order to show off the new St Clair tunnel. Several trainloads of employees and the public arrived in town, where festivities were taking place in a couple of different locations. One of the trains from Toronto consisted of VIA F40PH 6410 and 6404 with 10 LRC coaches in between ( the well known 1×1 makeup). After arriving in staggered time slots at the VIA station, the empty trains were then stored at the north end of the Point Edward spur. Like shooting fish in a barrel, this was prime film burning time. Here is the large VIA consist making it’s way back along the spur towards the station in the late afternoon and loading up for destination. This is the foot of George Street just off Front Street and the well known ‘ boat building ‘ looms in the near background. The other 2 trains consisted of (a)GO equipment; (b)GTW engines with NRHS coaches, while tunnel shuttle trains, free rides to/from Port Huron, consisted of yet more GO equipment.
