As they say it pays the bills. It did pave the way for the whole loco wrap advertising money that VIA subsidises  themselves with,at  least this  locomotive was a cross country promotion for both Home Hardwares aniversary that year ( 50 yrs I believe ) and the grand prize was a return trip for two on the Canadian (which was pulled by two F40's painted that way.Big Smile [:D]

A little something from last years trip  out east.
