Great capture! I loved the RDC’s John! My first VIA trip was on an RDC from North Sydney to Truro. – Ken

Ken, wish I could have ridden RDC’s on that route – scenic, lots of curves, and must have been a great RDC ride, too bad they are not still running today..We were very fortunate in southern Ontario to have many RDC operated routes on CN and CP, even over the TH&B. John

this control point is CN Credit. Eliminated around 2011-2013 when the bridge over the credit river was finally double tracked (for GO expansion, although it was a pretty redundant stretch of signal track)

Yes Jason, RDC cabs were drafty and cold on windy wintery days.
