Railpictures.ca - David Brook Photo: In the 80′s, VIA ran 5 daily trains along the back route Toronto to London, all with various numbers of Budd Cars. It was all train order territory as well west of Georgetown. Here, 4 Budds are about to hammer the CP diamond on their way west. I was lucky enough to work these jobs quite a bit when I was hired by CN in 1982. 3 hours and 20 minutes to London, with some really fast running west of Kitchener. Times were good. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

…oh, and at 90 m.p.h. on the Oakville Sub., quite the ride…
…and at that speed on a NRHS St.Thomas return trip our 3 Budds hit an empty 45 gallon oil drum, quite the commotion…
