VIA FP9A #6505 A-B-A Westbound in 81

VIA FP9A #6505 leads a nice A-B-A set on a Westbound train, sometime around 1981. I rode in this train across Canada when I was a kid. I think we lost this power half way through the Rockies though, if I remember correctly. Supposedly this unit is still working on Conway Scenic RR.

Indeed, the 6505 led the Conway Scenic Notch Train near Fabyan's station on 1-October-2005.

I wouldn't mind a career like that of the 6505!

Maltby Turn out.

Don't know... I wasn't big on notes back then. Probably somewhere just east of the Rockies.
