The VHA was pleased to participate in VIA Rail’s observation of the 40th anniversary of the Toronto Maintenance Centre.
When VIA Rail was first formed, it performed maintenance in Toronto’s downtown area. VIA moved its maintenance to Mimico Yard in 1985.
VIA Rail recently broke ground on a project to modernize the TMC, adding capacity to the existing structure and adding a wheel lathe facility and other yard improvements.
Our FP9ARM 6539 together with our baggage car and Dayliners provided the “past”, and VIA provided the “present” and the “future” VIA trains.
