CP's Super Continental has just rolled into town behind CP 1409 VIA 1961, leading a steam jenny and a long string of coaches. Stopped for maintenance and passengers. It will meet up with the #1 Canadian in Sudbury. Looks like it might be late. The scheduled stop here is for 1800 but, looking how far the sun is down and this is June; the time is more like 2000 but unfortunately I did not make note of it. VIA is about one year old. Still some interesting power combinations.

    Arnold, once again you were there to capture the smattering of colour that existed with the VIA transition. How wonderful! The 1409′s paint scheme is one of my favourites!- Ken

    Thanks, Ken. I’ve been quiet lately as we went out west for 35 days and just got back. Not that much out there to see any more, but had a lot of fun….awm
