Furthermore, there is no third rail visible on the track to qualify the rail car as a subway car.
Great photo.
But they’re not subway cars. They’re regular passenger railroad cars. Long-haul cars by the look of it.
The one closer to the camera is in VIA Rail Canada (Canada’s version of Amtrak) livery from the mid-1980s (dark blue with two yellow stripes on the lower part of the car). After the 1991 cuts, they had quite a few surplus cars.
The one further away is painted with the text “British Columbia Railway” at the top.
Best AoT yet.
