How Bright Are the Headlights on VIA Rail's New Fleet - Siemens Trains??
Переглядів 1,2 тис.Рік тому
Aug 5, 2022 They are INSANELY bright! Watch as the new fleet rounds the bend alongside the Gardiner Expressway. The headlights of the cars on the highway don't hold a candle to the LED's of these new trains. The new fleet is also equipped with an additional LED light below the main headlight which may have a similar function to the Xenon lights installed on the F40's and P42's. Leave a comment ...

I also asked when the new trains will service the Windsor Toronto train and she said March. I’m so so happy about it since I am in a wheelchair and the staff on the train had lots of trouble getting the lift out of the hut thing it’s in. Wonder if this will be the train on the route
