Transcontinental passenger train 'The Canadian', classified as VIA 02, charges past the Ramara Rd grade crossing with 2 rebuilt F40PH-3's as the power, running just over 12 hours late into Toronto from Vancouver. 

The train had called the signal on the approach the Brechin as 'VIA number 2 clear to stop advance Brechin'. While the signal at the SSS Brechin displayed solid red, the train charged right past it doing nearly 60mp/h with no authority from RTC that I had heard of. Any explanation would be appreciated.
