Whiteout at Ridout
On a snowy January afternoon,VIA train 73, led by an LRC engine, gets underway after doing its station work at London, Ontario.
The structure behind the engine is the CN's London office building. This building was later closed and was subsequently imploded in a controlled demolition.
A mere few days after this photograph was taken, Canada's government demolished VIA passenger service by cutting approximately 50% of the existing service. The cutbacks allowed retiring many of the older engines and most of the ex-CN blue rolling stock like the equpment on this train.
