    Does anyone know what the significance of the city names on the side is?

    It’s different, I’ll take it :)
    We need more variety around here!

    City names are just supposed to be significant station stops across the VIA system from what I have heard.

    They should have used the same designer that does the RCAF CF-18 Hornet demonstration aircraft and others.

    Wondering what the Via plans are? Click this link for more details: http://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/all-aboard-for-the-celebrations-via-rail-invites-travellers-to-join-in-canadas-150th-birthday-festivities-613047593.html

    What I will say is that with 22 locomotives floating around in 150 wraps…odds are good we’ll all be seeing them!

    Great news. At least they will look good again. Most of the P42′s have been quite rattty looking these days.
