A Fresh Coat of Paint for VIA 6917

With last minute notice about a high-level executive visit to VIA's Toronto Maintenance Centre, we decided 6917 needed a fresh coat of paint. Jordan made a late night trip to Home Depot to get paint and supplies, and the team met at TMC for 8:00am the next day.

The crew worked all day, without stopping for lunch! The only cure for that was a veal, mushroom and provolone sandwich from California Sandwiches. Bottle of Pepsi for scale.

The crew's hard work sure paid off!!
