Railpictures.ca - Doug Page Photo: VIA 75 was a popular train to catch–both for railfans and customers! In the 1970s and 1980s, it often had three or four units and 15 or more cars…such was the demand for a late afternoon departure to London and Windsor. Today we have FPA4 6780, FPB4 6869, leased CN RS18 3126, and an unidentified FP9 leading the train under the Plains Road bridge into Bayview. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography
