I suppose if we wanted to get technical, this is actually a VIA rolling thru Hamilton; as I am unclear just where the Hammy boundary ends, and as of a few years ago there is no longer a railroad location here known as Hamilton West. VIA, in its infancy in this scene, took over all CN passenger equipment Mar 31, 1978, and CP equipment in September. This "Tempo" train has 3151 and 3154 westbound mid-afternoon.....this run was eliminated during cutbacks some years ago.....I think it was #83. Anyone?

    Cutbacks…. cutbacks haven’t stopped! ;)

    MLW on VIA is just a dream to this relative ‘youngin’ – thanks for sharing Arnold.

    Nice shot Arnold. That was when I wasn’t paying attention to the passenger trains although clearly I should have been. You got some great shots back then.
