Original Toronto Star caption: Rolling down the line: The LRC (Light; Rapid; Comfortable); VIA Rail's hope for salvation as a provider of inter-city passenger transport; glides out of Toronto's Union Station en route to Montreal. Passengers on one of several trial runs recently agreed the train is more comfortable than the Turbo; but no faster.
