Canadian Railroads > Ontario Northland 'Northlander'Date: 01/06/21 09:37 Ontario Northland 'Northlander' Author: briancdn In Oct 1977 I caught the Northlander arriving at Toronto Union Station with the very unique 'TEE Train trainset. I guess this comes under the 'What were they thinking' description. If I remember correctly (and that's not a certainty) the long wheelbase trucks were an issue. The locomotives were out of service soon after, but the passenger cars went on for another decade behind modified FP7's.
I wish I had ridden this train back in the day. Can anyone attest to the comfort of these passenger cars? Brian N. Date: 01/06/21 10:17 Re: Ontario Northland 'Northlander' Author: viatrainrider Was this equipment sold or scraped? And did it run Toronto to Cochrane?
