Beautiful looking equipment. But I question the introduction of semi-permanently coupled 5 car “train sets.” Doesn’t anyone remember the introduction of the 5 car sets of Tempo equipment. It was almost overnight that CN realized they need only 3 cars on some runs and 8+ on others. Where is the flexibility with this equipment? It is great to see VIA purchasing new equipment, but is that what the market really needs? Time will tell. Great pictured though!!
Great photo Stephen! Guelph you have to time perfectly when it comes to sunlight. My previous trips were all ‘spur of the moment’, so you’ll never see one posted from me due to crappy lighting, or crappy weather.
First954 – I agree with you. Furthermore in my opinion, why do we need to have train sets that look more and more European than North American? My two favourite engines were the old F7s, and F40PH. But alas, these are what’s offered today I guess as technology advances. Most users I’ve seen are 5 cars, so I’m guessing – in theory – it’s working out.
