June 1 1985 Ottawa Ontario
VIA tried several schemes for trains between Ottawa and Sudbury. This slide is labelled "First Revived Canadian". It is negotiating the detour (known in railway parlance as a "shoe fly") which was needed in order to build a bridge for the newly aligned Industrial Avenue into Hurdman Station. The consist of the train is quite interesting. There are in order - a combine car for baggage and some sleeping car passengers, a coach, a Skyline car acting as the food service car, and two Montreal to Vancouver sleepers.
