"Spot the Spider-Man® Train" Contest

VIA Rail unveils a new look for the summer

As part of a promotional contest this summer, VIA Rail will be wrapping six of its locomotives in a scheme inspired by the Spider-Man®-2 movie. An announcement of contest details and a special media photo opportunity will be held at VIA's Toronto Maintenance Centre in Mimico tomorrow.

The press release is available from Canada Newswire

Contest information is now available on VIA's website VIARail.ca. There's also a photo of one of VIA's F40's in the Spider-Man scheme.

First time I've ever heard of a trainspotting contest for prizes.

Is this a good idea? I think so!

Full contest details are now available on VIA's website at SpiderMan-2

There are also some colourful new graphics when you first visit the VIA home page: viarail.ca. I only saw this once and then it was gone.

I just spotted my first Spidey unit, F40PH-2 6401, which was the second unit, trailing the CBC 6403, on Montreal bound train 668.

If there are six units and two are F40PH-2's; what are the other four units?
F40PH-2's as well?

All six of the Spider-Man units were F40PH-2s.
