Comments on: When you have the chance, GO. Amtrak 63/VIA Rail Canada 98 (Maple Leaf) has just arrived at Union Station in Toronto, Ontario on the evening of Tuesday, August 28, 2018 with former New York Central Railroad Budd built Pullman obs/diner/sleeper “Babbling Brook” (WEBX 800007) holding the markers. Although the car would make a quick turn, presently Amtrak service to Canada is listed as “cancelled until further notice” due to COVID-19 related travel restrictions, and it is a reminder to not to take any rail travel for granted. A GO Transit car frames the scene and provides a reflection of the “New England States” tail sign.

The interesting thing is, this observation was a frequent visitor to Toronto decades ago. NYC sold it and three other observations to CPR in 1957, where it operated as “Seaview” in Montreal-Ottawa-Toronto pool train service (often being serviced at John Street in downtown Toronto) until 1969 when it was sold off.

Nice shot Marc. I too enjoy your photography. Joe and I met you on the NYLE a few years ago. The day “Bob” was there… Good times.
