Canadian Railroads > VIA’s new Siemens equipmentDate: 12/01/21 03:48 VIA’s new Siemens equipment Author: DavidP VIA has posted a number of pictures from a roll-out event for the Siemens train sets on their Instagram site - probably other social media as well. Nice looking trains. They don't seem to be dealing with the same plumbing issue that has sideline Amtrak's version of this equipment.
