VIA-CN 6516

VIA train #69, 'Rapido', bound for Toronto, rounds the curve at the west end of Ile Perrot, just before crossing the Ottawa River. It is led by VIA-CN liveried PF9 6516, CN-liveried FPB-4 6871 and VIA-liveried FP9 6526.

 

Initially VIA was the name given to CN's passenger services, starting in 1976. At the beginning of 1977 VIA became a separate crown corporation. A few locomotives and cars got the VIA-CN branding.
