Caption: Recently back from another cross-Canada and return trip on VIA 001 & 002 The Canadian (January 25-February 3). Only had about 6-8 hours of sunshine on the whole journey. Not a lot of well-lit photos to post. So, I'm reaching back to March of 2020 for this clear sky and sunshine photo of VIA's Pacific Central station in Vancouver, BC. I would be boarding VIA 002 in a few short hours on what would turn out to be one of the last, if not the last departing cross-country trip for The Canadian for quite some time to come. I arrived in Toronto on March 10, 2020, and Covid lockdowns began a few days later.
For such an imposing exterior presence, this impressive looking structure has a very small main hall, with an equally small waiting room and check-in area. The bulk of the buildings main floor is office and commercial space to either side of the front center entrance.

A grand looking building.
