"5 Pack"
VIA 6446 is seen here leading 4 other F40s and 10 assorted budd cars on an equipment move (numbered as VIA #7) destined for either Winnipeg or Vancouver. They are seen here proceeding east through mile 21 of the CN York Sub pretty much matching the exact route and timing of The Canadian (remember that thing??). I believe this is the first time a VIA has traversed the York since they were forced to cancel the Canadian at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, as all the other equipment moves VIA ran in 2020 used the Bala from its starting point instead of Doncaster. I was told that the reason they took the more sophisticated route today was due to ongoing bridge work on the Bala in the Don Valley.
