Canadian Railroads > VIA #3 - aka The Grey Cup TrainDate: 11/11/12 16:46 VIA #3 - aka The Grey Cup Train Author: chatnoir 1-3. At 11:15 this morning I caught it at Bathurst Street with 6425 leading.
I'm not sure who designed the graphics on this train, but I suspect they were tripping on acid. Talk about busy!! James Adeney Toronto Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 11/11/12 16:53 by chatnoir.    Date: 11/11/12 16:49 VIA #3 - aka The Grey Cup Train Author: chatnoir 4-5. Having reversed direction at Spadina Avenue, 6445 now leads the train to Barrie.
