Five Algoma Central F-units lead by FP9 1754 lead the Agawa Canyon tour train, departing the SOO for the Agawa Canyon. The impressive consist was rather long, and included several dome cars. The ACR's fleet of nine former VIA Rail F-units (of CN and CP ancestry) would be retired and sold off in the early 2000's by CN, but all would find new homes at shortlines and museums. Today's Agawa Canyon trains operated by CN use former Amtrak F40PH's and ex-CN/VIA Tempo Cars, both acquired from the Ski Train.
