Cab Ride on The Via Rail Canadian

Sometimes in life you get to do something amazing, and this was the case in this video. In terms of things that I will never be able to do again, this is certainly one of them. I cannot speak on many details of this video, however here is a carbide on Via Rails famous train "The Canadian" as we head east through the Canadian Shield.

    Great Video. This is Via #2 departing Hornepayne, Ontario, Canada and travelling east bound over the CN Ruel Sub. Thanks for sharing!

    I rode in the cab of the Canadian between Dryden and Thunder Bay when it was owned by Canadian Pacific . The locomotive was an F9 I believe. The ride was very firm and uncomfortable. It felt like riding in a car with no shocks or no suspention. I had a sore back at the end of the ride.

    Years ago, I worked at VIA on a job placement and got a few cab rides; I even got to start up the locomotives. Not many can say that, let alone a cab ride.

    Talk about the right place at the right time. Thanks for sharing. Great guys on that route. In case others are curious for a bit of visual context, here's a drone perspective of the same train, different day and consist. kzread.info/dash/bejne/a2l4l7mhp7PQqpc.html

    The audio is completely dubbed due to in cab conversation and the general privacy of the crew. Thank you!

    The audio was 100% dubbed in this video. There is no cab audio.
