High Speed Train Negotiates S Curve in Snow - VIA Rail's New Fleet - VIA #26

Описание: Feb 7, 2023

Watch VIA Rail's new fleet winding through the S curve near Alexandria, Ontario kicking up a snow storm. VIA 2202 is pulling train 26 in revenue service on route from Ottawa to Montreal. These are the new passenger trainsets that will be replacing VIA's current fleet in the Quebec City - Windsor corridor. Currently there have been 3 delivered so far, with another 29 to go.

VIA 2202 Charger Locomotive
VIA 2601 Business Class
VIA 2901 Business Class
VIA 2701 Economy Class
VIA 2801 Economy Class
VIA 2301 Cab Car / Economy Class

At 00:59 I have included a close up view of the train going away from the south side (inside the curve)
At 01:24 you can see a close up view of the train approaching the crossing.
At 01:56 is a side view of the train passing a private farm crossing. The crossing is equipped with warning devices that display 'walk signals' indicating when it's safe to cross. Once the walk signals extinguish - stay clear of the tracks until both signals illuminate again. This final scene shows this process from start to finish.
