Where did these come from and where might they be going? Kinda cool something different. Chuck Date: 05/04/24 02:06 Re: VIA on the UPRR Overland Author: brc600 Likely a new train of equipment Sacramento, CA Siemens facility going to VIA RAIL Windsor, ONTARIO Canada.

and continue East to Port Huron, then thru the tunnel under the St Clair River to Sarnia, then onwards to either Toronto Maintenace Center, or Montreal Maintenance Center. Date: 05/05/24 10:01 Re: VIA on the UPRR Overland Author: RailDawg Have never seen/heard a brand-new train roll by.
That VIA was silent. Very impressive. Thanks for the route that's pretty cool. Chuck |
