Caption:

The dreary drab dull and gritty days of November...circa 1979

interesting times, and with VIA repainting CN ( and CP Rail ) units as fast as possible …

….the push was on to capture the remaining CN noodle passenger units

VIA 68 on the Scarborough Hill with ex CN FPA-4's and a GEEP: 6793 – 67xx - 41xx

near mile 326 Kingston Subdivision, November 1979 Kodak negative transported in a Nikkormat EL, by S.Danko

what's interesting:

that 13 car conventional was considered normal for a Sunday afternoon

and that sound: two FPA-4's at full throttle ! ( plus that geep too ) on jointed rail...

do note: that jointed rail has a 90 m.p.h. limit !

faster

That view is looking west towards GECO, so:

on the GECO
