The makeover from CN to VIA on the old cab units was a really interesting time for the fans. The very thought of just what might be seen had me out as often as running away from work would allow. Of course nowhere near as often as I would have liked.
  A nice example of what could be seen is this image taken on a cold day in February 1979. Unfortunately I have misplaced my notes so not sure of the exact date. CN 6785 and VIA 6761 sure looked good as photographed coming off the CN Oakville sub onto the CN Dundas Sub at Bayview Junction, a most popular railfan location between Burlington and Hamilton. I don't believe either of these units have survived over the years.
