Caption: An afternoon down at VIA's Brockville Station finds CN RS18 3125 and a VIA 6600-series B-unit handling train #54 for Montreal, while 6793 sits on the station pocket track in charge of #44's consist for Ottawa. Both ran from Toronto as a combined eastbound #44-54 consist until arriving at Brockville, where the consist would be split, a spare unit at the station would couple to #44's cars, and each separate train would then continue on to its respective destination.

After the 1981 cuts to VIA, equipment from The Canadian ran between Toronto and Montreal on corridor trains #53 and #54, hence the stainless steel ex-CP Budd cars from The Canadian shown in today's consist of VIA #54 running through (there's more information on this arrangement on Trackside Treasures).
