Caption:
VIA – ONR Northland pool train #129 under the ( now old, prior to rebuild ) Union Station shed
with a mix of ONR and VIA (CN) FPA-4 power

what's interesting
I have read that at one time the mixed owner power lashups were discontinued due to differences in brake line pipe pressure settings – the CN units experiencing excessive brake shoe wear
