Caption: VIA 6437 with VIA 6401 trailing, is ready to lead VIA #15 The Ocean on its journey from Halifax, NS to Montreal, QC on this cold, drab, rainy, March day. The consist of passenger equipment is a mix of ex-CP Budd built stainless steel cars, and European built Renaissance cars. The trip to Halifax a few days earlier on VIA #14 was my first-time riding the Renaissance equipment, and specifically a Renaissance sleeping car. While I enjoyed the trip and the experience in this equipment, I realized I much prefer the classic Pullman & Budd built cars from CN and CP passenger trains of decades gone by. This is a trip I will take again, only next time in the summer months to get a different view of the Maritime landscape.
