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

@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.

all via locos have e-bell

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

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?

Do you use a radar gun to tell the speed?
