Shunting…the hard way.
I guess the engineer on that train wasn’t all that observant what happened to his observation car, eh?!?
Why two units on such a short train ?

It’s a copy of the prototype, they also use two units … just in case one of them dies on the way. 
Oh…so I guess Via Rail has a lot to learn about operating passenger trains…In the Eastern corridor, Via runs at least up to seven cars, with one unit, with no dependability problems…what am I missing here…oh ya…Those old Alco units were not as dependable way back when…!!
Tom,
Was Stan or JJ their?
If the engine units are LGB, the A unit is powered, and the B unit is not powered, but has the sound system in it…
They’re Aristo. And the A unit has a bent axle. It waddles down the track.
