VIA 6435
Title:  VIA 6435
Description:  Fortunately for me, Train 2 is about 7 hours late, providing me a rare opportunity to get a pretty decent shot as the 'Canadian' rolls out of the unmanned Washago Station and past the old coaling tower. This is the longest Train 2 that I have ever seen, with half a dozen domed observation cars, and another 20 or so serving a variety of functions. The coaling tower, on the former Grand Trunk line, was built by CNR in 1936.
