[Conrail4105]

We need to take a page out of VIA's books here in the states, those guys know how to run a passenger train.

i wana see that thing smack a honda civic going at that speed

[mccarron969]

all via locos have e-bell

[DieselSmoke92]

You need a verry good camera for filming fast via's like this since then you can pause the video and read the roadnumbers but if your camera sucks, GOODLUCK :)

Somebody help me understand why it's necessary to have an engine on each end... Is it really more cots effective than running an engine around at the terminal or having a coach cab car?

[jamie514]

@2011Maynard Normally a VIA train in the corridor has only a single locomotive at the head end. Second units are usually dispatched when loads require it like the ten car train in this video, or to reposition equipment. VIA often runs the longer LRC trains with a locomotive at each end, a holdover from the era when they had matching LRC locomotive. Nowadays they also run alot of J-trains with a mid-train loco as the consist will be split en route with two trains going to separate destinations.

Do you use a radar gun to tell the speed?

[ZVEZDAjeZAKON]

looks like the Talgo trains in Europe

Quoi? deux locomotives pour pousser un train?

[MegaZsolti]

Whats the horn on the train? K5-something?

[stcatharinesrailfan]

what are the engine numbers

'

[AlexFromCooks]

@stcatharinesrailfan I'm not sure but it looks like 908 and 912 from what i could see

[jfsa380]

i like how the ditch lights don't flash like the american counterparts, why do some flash, others do not, and others only have a center light?

[justkiddin08]

Wow nice!!

[sparwood8]

Well Campeau; I am guessing that train was 140kph when it crossed the X ing. So yeah

[nashgallo]

Wow nice K5LA sounds almost like Amtrak's P42 K5LAs

[davidd320]

That e-bell was irritating, mechanical crossing bells are better!

[LanceCampeau]

@davidd320

Yup.... those electro bell crossings suck ass.

[gypsyball]

@LanceCampeau The newer locomotives and some of the older ones has the e-bell on them.

[JayJr2007]

Awesomeness.

[TrainGuy247]

Ya gotta love the Gennies! =]

[badboymrpappy]

NICE COLORS...

[kaizerzydeco]

No pesky FRA speed limits!

[maxwellsgoldenhammer]

do they always run double ended ?

[chrisvazquez7]

No. Usually VIA doesn't. This is most likely two trains in one, and they will be split somewhere along the way. Because it's on the Kingston Sub, one may be going to Ottawa, and the other to Montreal. Can't say for sure.

[folsome]

The split trains would have the second engine in the middle, not double ended.

[boo2277]

That... was.... awesome!

Great video! Damn, I love living in Canada.

[excimero]

100 mph ?... wow.

[quemuquemu]

Impresionante la velocidad de las Genesis, muy bueno!
