Well get the next one |
| Description: |
Two friends and I rode the Atlantic to Moncton from Montreal. We were going to board a connecting VIA train at Dorval-its easier to park there than downtown-but we found out VIA did not handle riders from there to Montreal, even if connecting. The agent said hed get us on one of the two trains that ran one after the other. This one was not it. Apparently the conductor was something of a pill, and wasnt willing to take "shorts." Fortunately, the second train was a better option, and we made our connection. |

Long LRC set |
| Description: |
The LRC train sets were often coupled back to back, creating a longer train with power on each end. Sometimes cars would be dropped, but the power kept on. It didnt matter so much for the timekeeping, but did allow a quicker turn at the other end. LRC 6912 leads train 69 west. It has 6916 on the rear. |

6912 again |
| Description: |
VIA 6912 leads the set that was running on train 69 for several days. The LRCs spent their time running between Montreal and either Toronto or Ottawa, so you saw the same sets over and over. I think I saw this one three times in the two days I spent there. |
