Caption: Reviving a name used for the Super Continental’s “running mate” from 24 May 1964 until 6 January 1970, VIA named its Winnipeg-Edmonton-(3 days per week) Prince Rupert train the Panorama when it was introduced on 3 June 1984. The train and name only lasted for about a year, after which the Super was reinstated between Winnipeg and Vancouver (on 1 June 1985--lasting until the Canadian was re-routed over CN lines in the January 1990 cuts). Interestingly, the Panorama was used to test Amtrak Superliners and head-end power over the winter of 1984-85; VIA eventually bought F40PH-2s but decided to convert its existing stainless steel equipment to HEP rather than buying Superliner cars. In this photo from July 1984, we see the Panorama making its early afternoon station stop at Portage la Prairie before continuing west.
