A VIA Rail Canada steam generator car tucked in behind the FP9s of Train 92 (Churchill-Winnipeg), Thompson, Manitoba (1988)
When VIA Rail embarked on a major rebuild programme for 15 FP9s between 1983 and 1985 the first five units were re-manufactured without steam generators, so until steam heating was eliminated from VIA, any train powered by one of these locomotives (6300-6304) needed a steam generator car.
