Comments on: The early morning hours at VIA’s Toronto Maintenance Centre find numerous pieces of equipment at the ready for upcoming departures to Ottawa, Montreal, Windsor, and New York. The new Siemens Charger sets make up the majority of the scene, including “LUMI” at centre, with stored Budd equipment in the distance beyond the newest delivery or Siemens equipment. Ontario Northland’s third and final set of equipment, ONT has just been delivered by and is seen being positioned by VIA 903 after a brief stop at the fuel pad. Note freight equipment from CN L543 in the distance, waiting for the pair of geeps to turn on the wye before returning to Oakville.

Nice mix of equipment. So much for thinking that passenger trains are kind of boring.

And at the top center, some Work Equipment in the form of a Plasser American PTS-62 Dynamic Track Stabilizer has photo-bombed the pic.
