Rare mileage on an ex-transcontinental main line. A VIA special train is crossing the famous Cap-Rouge Trestle near Quebec City on what was once part of the National Transcontinental Railway (now part of CN). This is no longer a through route and does not normally see any VIA Rail service. Multiple trains were run from Joffre yard to this trestle and back for CN Family Day.
