Original Toronto Star caption: In spite of it all: Passengers enjoy the scenery as VIA Rail's Transcontinental heads north to Sudbury. Canada's passenger rail service; formed in 1977 of CN and CP Rails' losing passenger rail segments; has been neglected and mishandled. And yet; the number of VIA passengers is steadily increasing.
