The Cars of Via -- Heritage Fleet, Volume 2; Cars #573-1105, Hardcover

The Cars of Via: Heritage Fleet, Volume 2 from Rapido Trains is an outstanding rail photo album. Gathered by CN and CP from various sources, VIA Rail{{s heritage fleet was understandably varied and offered a wide gamut of accommodations to the traveling public. This is the story of that motley fleet, which incorporated pretty much every type of passenger accommodation ever devised in North America. Gone were CN{s black and gray and CP{s silver and Action Red - Canadian passenger trains were now distinctively blue and yellow! The history of VIA Rail Canada's inherited passenger fleet will no longer be a mystery shrouded in the mist of misinformation. Never before, such an effort was made to document each of the different types of cars, and this book includes color floor plans. The Cars of Via also features plenty of pictures of both interior and exterior of every type of car during each car's history as practicable, as well as a comprehensive roster of every car's whereabouts and disposition, including a detailed specification sheet. The Cars of Via: Heritage Fleet, Volume 2 is a must-have for every serious enthusiast or Canadian passenger car or Via Rail Canada historian!
