All kinds
Title:  All kinds
Description:  VIA inherited a variety of RDCs from CP, including this RDC 2 with a baggage compartment. It probably came in handy. VIA ran quite a few remote area services, and the trains were a means of getting not only people, but good, to some places that were not well served by other transportation.
