Comments on: Via Rail FP9A 6305 sits at the head end of #3 during its station stop in Jasper. Via 6313 sits on an adjacent track, it came into Jasper from Prince Rupert with the Skeena. It would be added to #3 behind 6305 and make the trip to Vancouver for maintenance. I’m not sure if at the time I realized how lucky I was to take in scenes like this in Jasper. These were the final days for F units on Via in western Canada as the F40PH would soon take over. And I sure didn’t think that 28 years later 6305 would be hauling freight in southern Ontario! http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?
