Comments on: Switching things up This years VIA Santa Train in Jasper was made up of equipment from VIA #5 and #6 The Skeena consists. But before the special train could be made up, the crew had to switch out a troublesome VIA 6455 that was dragged into town as the second unit on VIA #6 The Skeena the night before. They also had to move a passenger car off the shed track in order to shove VIA 6455 against the stop block next to the wayside power connection. Lots of VIA switching action on this chilly morning in Jasper. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

It was a chilly -13C in Jasper the morning I took the above photo. The white stuff was crunching under foot as I walked around the station platform and other accessible areas of the CN yard. Brrr. :-) I don’t want to say that word as there is still none here in southern Ontario and I don’t want to jinx it!
