Ticket To Ride

VIA Resting

I was in Churchill MB recently and photographed the VIA train sitting at the train station.

VIA 8717 Waterton Park was built by Budd Car Company and AMF somewhere between August-October 1954 and acquired by VIA in 1978. The configuration of the car is: 1 triple bedroom, 3 double bedrooms, 24 seats in the dome, 1 common washroom, a bar and a panoramic lounge at the rear.
