Caption: The Toronto skyline is lit up in the brilliant late winter sun and stainless steel of VIA's classic Canadian equipment reflects the blue skies above.
Vancouver-Toronto #2 arrived a few hours earlier, spent time at the fuelling racks, set off the dining and park cars before parking the remainder of the train in the yard as seen waiting for their turn for maintenance and cleaning.
#1 is also preparing for an 8 PM departure, with the park car in the foreground and the rest of the train including a pair of locomotives behind me. #1 will reverse from TMC to Union Station to board passengers and depart for Vancouver. Other than the change of location and lack of CP F's on the point of this train, the look of this train is simply classic, ride or shoot it while you can folks!

Seems as though the cars last forever up here. Must be the climate.
