Comments on: Here we are once again in St. Lambert on a summer’s evening in 1987. VIA’s F40PH-2 units are starting to be used on transcontinental trains, so it’s a treat to get a matched set of FPA4/FPB4 units. The engineman has just cracked the throttle to pull away from the station–in your mind you hear Stan Roger’s singing “the Ocean’s going to take me home…” and revel in the sound of a matched set of 251 Alco prime movers as the train leaves town!
