Caption: I was amazed at the speed this train flew past. I'm standing on the Bruce Trail crossing across from the former Dundas Station site babbling away with a friend, enduring the raw wind and snow as we waited for this special. All of a sudden it is around the bend, and I daresay it had to be doing 65 MPH. It is around 0930 on Super Bowl Sunday, as the game was played later that evening in Detroit. Aboard the Express I am assuming were the winners of some sort of contest put out by Budweiser, and hopefully they weren't overly polluted by the time they made the border. (VIA 6425 was on the other end, giving the train an added boost.) The VIA 6424 was previously in a Spiderman wrap, which I think was removed early 2005 and the BUD wrap put on later that spring. I saw this colourful unit only a few times up to Bowl Day, and this was my best shot. Never saw this Wrap again. I suppose it was removed right after the festivities ended.

You’re right Arnold, it didn’t last long in this wrap (unfortunately for us…)
Not the kind of “Bud” car I usually think of when I think of budd cars. Great catch!
