Remarks & Notes

VIA Rail no. 6311, former CN FP9 no. 6529, built in May 1957, reflects on itself at Vancouver's former CN station, now used by VIA and Amtrak. The CN SW1200RS in the background was used for switching VIA power and equipment at the time. The Canadian and Super Continental were still both running daily in 1987, along with a daily Amtrak train between Vancouver and Seattle.
