Great news. At least they will look good again. Most of the P42′s have been quite rattty looking these days.

What I will say is that with 22 locomotives floating around in 150 wraps…odds are good we’ll all be seeing them!

VIA will announce their 150th plans on Tuesday – watch for more information.

They should have used the same designer that does the RCAF CF-18 Hornet demonstration aircraft and others.

Nice Shot Ian!

City names are just supposed to be significant station stops across the VIA system from what I have heard.

Does anyone know what the significance of the city names on the side is?
