It is a beautiful day, a Thursday afternoon and because it is a weekday VIA's 75 westbound is not all that big. Just 8 cars. This scene is at the old Freeman Station at Burlington West, and the train is stopped to take on passengers. Behind VIA 6789 is 6867. The leader retired by 1989. Don't know where it went. Scrapper? At least the 6867 was saved. It went to Danbury, CT rail museum.
