That looks like "The Skeena"...runs from Jasper AB to Prince Rupert BC. ...John Reay Springhill NS Date: 08/02/22 18:14 Re: Need name of Train Author: NiagaraMike My vote the " Skeena "

The name was dropped as of the June 17, 2009, timetable, along with the names of all other VIA trains, except for the Canadian and Ocean. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 08/02/22 18:28 by railsmith.

Is it a courch lounge or a diner That's VIA's new livery for cars used in Corridor and eastern services. Some have migrated to the west. The number appears to begin with an 8, which would make it a coach.

Date: 08/02/22 21:52 Re: Need name of Train Author: edsaalig The coach is number 8100. Is that a full coach?
