Snapshot - January 2021

On April 6, 2020 VIA 72 has departed EB from London, Ontario station. This is the tail end unit. During this time the train ran with a unit on each end.

January snapshot is a look back at some views of VIA in the London area during 2020. No exciting trips far away with lock-downs and Covid restrictions...George Dutka     

At CN Ridout VIA 72 crosses over to the north track which leads into the London station on Dec. 7, 2020.

This is VIA 71's trailing unit (note the red markers) going through the crossovers at Ridout. It had departed the London, Ontario station a few minutes prior. Dec 7, 2020. The year is coming to an end with VIA still operating with units at both ends.

VIA 72 at Rectory St. London. Note the Look, Listen, Live sign painted on the sidewalk. This has been done on numerous crossing.

I am standing on the newer Hale street overpass to catch VIA 72 at CN Highbury on May 22, 2020.

VIA 72 May 26, 2020 departs London, Ontario. The building behind the train was once the London Free Press building that received boxcars of newsprint paper on a regular basis. With VIA 72 being the only daytime train in my area there was not a lot to shoot during the spring.
