Comments on: … if CP was hauling passenger trains in 2014, what would it look like? It’s been 44 years since the last Canadian Pacific Railway passenger train on the Owen Sound subdivision.. this is what it would probably have looked like in 2014. The Credit Valley Explorer Tourist Train takes the honours for using the first GP20C-ECO in (revenue) Passenger Service. (Not true? Post in comments!)

I’ll give you that. I had no idea if it was a revenue service or not, that’s why I wasn’t sure if it would count or not. At least it was passenger equip, but I’d say for sure the first revenue run in Canada. There was one of these switching around Holiday Train cars out west at one point, but that was just switch service, so I wouldn’t count it.

Yes, in a way it does. So, I can probably claim the first in Canada. However, did that Amtrak train carry revenue passengers? The CVE was about 120 ticket holding paying passengers, and not a commemorative, test (Geometry), or display train.

Awesome shot, but I hate to burst your bubble… does this count?
