March 14 1988 Newtonville Ontario
One of the most beautiful places to take pictures of trains on the Montreal to Toronto route is the area just south of Newtonville.  There, one bridge spans the Canadian Pacific mainline while another is over the Canadian National double track.  Views of the sweeping curves and open country to the east towards Port Hope can be enhanced with telephoto techniques.
 
In this picture, interest is added by the VIA J train (J standing for Joined).  The front section (probably from Montreal as VIA 61) is led by an LRC type locomotive which fits in with the profile of the LRC coaches.  The second part from Ottawa (VIA 41) is powered by an FP40 locomotive which towers over the cars.
