First coach is for checked luggage, the second one is this seater car. It was empty and locked but with the lights on the entire way I think. Then the sleeper cars.

Lounge cars with WiFi on each side of the dining car, followed by, well, the other half of the train. At some stations we would stop twice, first for the sleeper, then for the seated cars.

@serac I love the old MR-73 trains. A bit bouncy but still, love the design.

@javensbukan
I guess the bouncyness is mainly caused by the tyres...but impressive acceleration, that's definitely a pro of this system.

@serac Good ole F40PH, the last truly successful EMD passenger locomotive.

20 years ago, they hauled nearly every passenger train in North America. Now, VIA is one of the last operators, and like most, replacing them with Siemens Chargers
