NS train #328 heading from St. Thomas (Talbotville) to Buffalo, autoparts, daily, always had a surprise in its' power consist. Or so it seemed. Here's one of my favourite schemes, that white & green faced BNSF leading a NS 6693 as it roars past the town VIA kiosk. Considerable expense went into setting up the new kiosk and a fancy sign; and of course what does VIA do? Cancel all operations down Niagara-way. Worse, the #328 is now history too. Getting quiet in ol' Grimsby-town. :o(

    At behest of Coun. Bruce Williamson, St Catharines City council is requesting that VIA service to Niagara be reinstated:

    Thanks, Paul. I think this is the only time I saw this particular scheme along the Grimsby sub.
