Winnipeg's Via Rail station in 1982: A blast from the past!
This image of the back of Winnipeg's Via Rail station, taken in 1982, was sent to me by Robert Keller of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He was stationed at Grand Forks Air Force Base at the time and came up to Canada from time to time to do some rail fanning. What a difference 31 years makes! Vintage first generation diesels, enormous cars, brand new grain cars without any graffiti and nothing at The Forks besides the CN Rail yards!
Too bad Bob didn't know that the Winnipeg Model Railroad Club was still holding it's monthly meetings in the basement of the Via Rail station every second Friday evening of the month!
He could've come down for a visit!
