Caption: VIA Rail FP9A 6520 and a B unit sister bring eastbound number 72 into Burlington West station. Built as CN 6520 in March of 1957, the unit would be transferred to VIA 6520 in March 1978, renumbered to VIA 6306 in June 1984 and finally retired from VIA service in 1994. It would serve for three years with Les Trains Touristiques du Saint-Laurent (TTSL 6303) until May 1997, when it would move to Ontario as Waterloo-St. Jacob's Railway 6520. After languishing in Toronto until 2012, it would finally make it's way west to the West Coast Railway Association's site in Squamish, British Columbia, where it was recently restored to CN's 1961 scheme.
