Caption: VIA used the higher speed Turbos for a few trains a day between Montreal and Toronto in 1978. Here we see a going away view of the morning westbound almost at the end of it's trip near the Rouge River crossing west of Pickering. It was a fun ride to snag a seat in the bubble and watch the speedometer push toward 100 mph for the just over 4 hour trip. The bubble seats were usually higher priced reserve seats but on the morning runs before the alcohol could be served, they were open seating so that's where I headed. On one Saturday mornign trip to Montreal, a group of older ladies (were then, would be young partyers now) had the same plan, except they were prepared for Ontario's liquor laws and started passing around a flask.
