VIA Rail Rolling Stock Question.

  by Mr. Harlem Line
 
Hello all. I've recently became interested in VIA Rail Canada's routes and rolling stock and I was wondering what kind of locomotives and passenger cars are used on the following trains:
  • Windsor-Quebec City Corridor

    Canadian

    Skeena

    Mahalat

    Hudson Bay

    Lake Superior

    Abitibi

    Sageunay

    Chaleur

    Ocean
And if anyone can post some photos of the various types of equipment they use, that will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks! :-)
