Railpictures.ca - Doug Page Photo: VIA took over passenger service from CN on April 1, 1978 and from CP on September 29, 1978. As you can see from this photo, while some cars were in “VIA CN” blue, many other cars and locomotives still had CN paint and markings after “Day 1″. In this photo we see an eastbound train with FP9 6531 and FPA4 6772 accelerating away from Bayview (looking at the lighting, it is likely No. 76 from Windsor). | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography
