Seen here in August 1983 is Via MLW FP4A 6773 and a Via baggage car at the coach yard near Toronto Union Station. The base of the CN tower looms in the background haze. Ahh the old MLW Alcos - they seemed to be around forever, until they were gone. I saw an internet post that this unit survives in Ohio on the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railway?

    Several of the FPA4′s are stored or running in the U.S., at least for now.

    Yes, she is running on the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad where she is wearing the latest paint scheme.

    I photographed 6773 on the CVSR in September. Thanks for posting the VIA photo.

    There’s a good dispositions list posted here, quite a few survivors: https://cptdb.ca/wiki/index.php/VIA_Rail_Canada_6760-6793
