I was in Toronto over the weekend, and was able to fit several little side trips, and/or spot a number of train related things:
- The old John Street roundhouse (now home to Steam Whistle Brewery and future home of Toronto Railway Museum)
- CP freights running across Toronto through the old Canadian Northern Station (now a liquor store - on Younge St)
- Lots of streetcars
- VIA trains and Union Station
So my question is - what are the "named" trains that VIA runus in the "Corridor". I saw an eastbound and westbound train with the fluted steel cars running behind old FP's (??) near Kingston. They were not the revived LRC or Rennaissance cars with the new engines. Was I seeing The Canadian out of/bound for Montreal? The Ocean? The Chaleur? Do those originate/terminate in Toronto? VIA's website was less than helpful this morning...
Thanks.
