VIA Rail Rolling Stock
Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, November 18, 2003 3:13 PM
I live in the UK and am currently building a model railway in N gauge. I am also trying to build a set of pictures of interesting railways.

Having travelled on Amtrak, I have a few personal photos, although I wish I had taken more. I am also interested in pictures of current VIA Rail stock. However, the picture on VIA's own site seem to be very picturesque and not very helpful in showing the colour schemes in use.

Can anyone help me find something useful.

you could go to www.railpictures.net and look it up there. depending on what era you are modeling there are also links to other sites at www.trainscan.com

The site railpictures.net looks the most promising, I will look further.

Thanks

Here are some of my better VIA Rail photos. They depict both the GE P42DC and EMD F40PH, leading the Renaissance and LRC coaches.

Hope you find them useful.

Some good stuff there. Havn't looked back earlier due to work requirements.
