you know I still have this on tape. My parents taped it when I was 1 year old in 89 and I still bust it out once in a while. as for the name it was taped when VIA was moving from the CP to CN tracks on the Canadian (toronto to vancouver (i just rode the Canadian last month) and the Sydney to Halfax run (seen here) was being canceled. so in some ways the title is misleading
