Caption: VIA #2 The Canadian and VIA #5 The Skeena sit nose to nose at Jasper, AB on this cold, damp, windy, and lightly snowing March 7, 2020. The Canadian is making its regularly scheduled stop for all on-board services, head-end crew change, fuel, and dome car window washes, while The Skeena is made ready for its journey to Prince Rupert, BC. No. 2 would make it into Toronto several days later right on schedule, and only a few days before the initial round of Covid restrictions and cancellations began to fall into place. It would be a full 21 months from this date before I would be able to ride the Canadian again.
