Railpictures.ca - Jakob Mueller Photo: With an Ottawa winter looming, the sun is already low in the November sky as VIA #55 boards passengers ahead of its 15:35 departure. The four in-service cars are alongside the station’s new high-level platform. In many ways, seeing a 6-car train of classic stainless steel coaches led by TWO F40s in 2022 is pretty incredible. Given the circumstances requiring the buffer cars and the age of everything here, we should appreciate these sights while they are still “normal”. The full consist here was: 6409-6415-4000-4004-4108-4122-4115-4008 Photo taken with permission, after which I boarded the train. The train met #42 in Smiths Falls, led by P42DC 911. An envious engineer on the other train, perhaps no fan of GE power, radioed: “How lucky are you guys to have ALL the 6400s?” | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography
