With spring in the air, I’ll bet this was a great day to be out.
I’m guessing the first car behind the power is likely business car CN 93 which was assigned to the VP of the then CN Mountain Region. VIA required CN to repaint its business cars in VIA blue/yellow but without the VIA at the end of the stripes. The blue & white cars trailing the CN business car are VIA 1 & VIA 2 which were formerly the Governor General of Canada’s business cars.
That is interesting. I wonder what the big deal was that brought these cars out. Expo 86 would open in less than a month and CN had a pavilion. Perhaps there was a preview for the VIP’s? But a month out”
