AAAHH thank you viahogger that clip had been puzzling me for a while and I just remembered it so decided to post and see if anyone knew what the circumstances were behind the unusual movement.. I guess I was right something did happen while pushing the Maple leaf ( 97) from Mimico yard also known as TMC ( for those wondering) to union station. Im surprised the brakes were that hot! I guess I was really on the money when I made the joke the situation is just " A HOT MESS " well I guess that's what happens when you get Amtrak and there deferred maintenance program. Hopefully that will change soon. I wonder if VIA TMC tried to fully fix it or just send it back dead in tow later on. Did the Maple leaf that morning leave with no cafe car (no meals at all served) or did via substitute it with some other equipment?
