For some reason, I had thought it was the Budd corridor train (there's one) that didn't have BC, but I'm on #55 right now. I'm sitting in Gare Central, and I'm in a train car where the seats actually line up with the windows (two seats to a window). I'm...I don't know how to describe it, but this is amazing.
Not only that, but from a railfan perspective...the train actually matches.
Yeah, I'm sort of having a railfan freakout.
Edit: And now that I know how to look for them, I'm going to bend over backwards to get these trains. If I didn't have one of those **** non-refundable reservations (thank you, VIA, for eliminating the middle, refundable-with-fee, option in BC with your 50% off sale), I'd be switching my reservation for this evening to the 6:30 train from the 8:32. Actually, I'm still sorely tempted to do so regardless.
