There were a few low numbered GP40-2L(w) locomotives on CN geared for 80MPH and they fit right in helping out VIA when necessary. Here we see CN 9430, with steam jenny behind, slowing in for a stop at Burlington West station. The woman in the photo looking over sure doesn't seem to approve of me. Not a problem, believe the feeling is mutual. I was there for the train. Besides, CN 9430 was sold to ALSTOM in 2001 and I'll bet she still looks pretty good.

  1. Perfect upload considering what’s beside this one :D

  2. The first coach appears to be one of the old parlour cars that CN had modified many years before VIA was formed. The ones I rode in during these early VIA days often had the individual swivel seats and no facilities for heating meals. They were sold as “club with snack” at a lower fare than the club cars that had hot meals. Not all had the old parlour car seats, though; some of them had the modern “2+1″ seating.

  3. Thanks for this. I was unsure of the car so rather than guess at it, I was hoping someone would clarify its’ status and you just did.
    Appreciated.

  4. Telephone booths are another item that have become somewhat rare.

    Thanks for your message about the trio. :-)
