Canadian Railroads > MLW Monday VIA 1981 Old and NewDate: 11/30/15 03:32 MLW Monday VIA 1981 Old and New Author: kgmontreal From the summer of 1981 come a trio of photos taken at the east end of Dorval station. The FPA-4 pulls a short train from Ottawa. Following it was an LRC that I think was on test. By virtue of completeness I've included the third photo from the sequence, the VIA transcon departing for Central Station.
During this time period there were frequent changes and arrangements for how the transcon service departed Montreal. KG    Date: 11/30/15 06:14 Re: MLW Monday VIA 1981 Old and New Author: gaspeamtrak The way it should still be with picture # 3 ! Thanks for sharing ! :)
