Comments on: VIA train 185 is almost ready depart Sudbury on August 2, 2011, with a brightly painted 6202 bringing up the rear. The other car is the all baggage conversion of the 6205. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

It survived the scrapping purge and was sent to a commuter upstart in Vermont(?) a few years back (All Earth something, along with most of the TRE RDC’s that VIA got outbid on). It wouldn’t surprise me if it was being leased to VIA at the time to cover for one of their own cars being overhauled.

Lots of colour on the nose of VIA 6202. Straight exhaust stack. Quite the angle on that step box! Great shot! Lots of colour on the nose of VIA 6202. Straight exhaust stack.
