Hi - quick question regarding a move that I witnessed yesterday. [ worth noting: I know virtually nothing about Via operations, but had an opportunity for a full day of trainwatching in Burlington, Ontario yesterday ]. Yesterday (Saturday 10/8 - the evening before Canada's Thanksgiving holiday) at about 5:00 PM Via's "Canadian" passed through Burlington headed westbound. About 20 minutes later, the same train passed by headed to the east, so obviously it had just turned on the wye. One of the other railfans said that it looked as if the train was completely empty - no passengers to be seen within.
So, my question - is this a typical move? If so, why? Thanks for any information!
