VIA 6457 pulls train 61 en route to Toronto. Tacked on the back, 6405 is in charge of the  Full Flex Express  with Waterton Park on the tail end. Rather than stick to the normal private jet or tour bus, electronic artist Skrillex opted to cross Canada by train instead. In 2012, Skrillex also crossed the country by rail, but the train ran under its own power throughout. So far, the train has travelled from Ottawa, to Montreal and now to Toronto as a "J" consist with a regularly scheduled train. Thanks to  Eric Gagnon  for confirming that train 61 was doing the honours today.
