CP Rail at Washago !

VIA Rail #2 is on the CN Bala Subdivision, approach to CN Washago, except for that steam generator and a repainted ex CN coach near the head end, this is an ex CP consist – a stranger in a foreign land

.....Power provided by ex CP Rail FP's #1432 - 1404, the CN crews probably wondering what they did to deserve that ride!

At the Washago switch, #2 is onto the CN Newmarket Subdivision to serve Orillia, Barrie, Newmarket and St. Clair Avenue stations. The last VIA Canadian served those stations June 16, 1979 ! (Such is progress ? ! )

The two nearest tracks are the CN Newmarket Subdivision
