VIA LRC Unit #6920. This unfortunate locomotive was burned almost beyond recognition at a fiery, vandalism caused, accident at Brighton, Ontario, and has been retired. She is seen here in happier times on a westbound at Dickenson Rd, Hope Twp, Ontario. The three VIA passenger cars are being steam heated using the boxcar-like steam generator, which dwarfs the more modern locomotive. Scenes like this were common until all VIA passenger equipment was converted to HEP.
