Canadian Railroads > VIA's Siemens trainsetsDate: 05/28/23 15:53 VIA's Siemens trainsets Author: Ray_Murphy VIA's Siemens trainsets have been operating in irregular testing service for a number of months now. They are soon going to be assigned to regular service. While I have seen the trains from time to time, I finally got an opprotunity to photograph one in good light on Friday.
This is VIA #37 (Montreal-Ottawa) passing Turcot West (and the congested traffic on Highway 20). The locomotive is 2203. Ray    Date: 05/28/23 16:15 Re: VIA's Siemens trainsets Author: NiagaraMike Very nice !

They already are. Last Monday, the 22nd, a set blew past me at St-Edouard as I was getting gas for the return trip to Nova Scotia. It must not have been going particularly fast. They had to make a stop at Drummondville, but we still got within sight of them just after St-Apollinaire.
