VIA First 11 FPA-4 #6779 Brownville, Jct, ME 12-29-80
Seeing Second Sections of freight trains was common on the Saint John Division especially in the Winter but sections of a passenger train was rare.
During the Holiday Season of 1980 VIA ran Sections both Eastbound and Westbound to accommodate the Holiday Rush. It was colder than a mother-in-laws heart the night I took this picture and the fireman will have his work cutout for him tonight keeping those steam generators online.
All the people that were working this train have now passed on and the railroad scene has for ever changed and it is not yet over.
