When I took this photograph, the future of the E&N and the Malahat were uncertain.  Less than a week remained before Rail America would close the line. 

I'm pleased to say VIA Rail was able to negotiate a stay with Rail America and the Malahat was still running in 2003.  The future of the line is uncertain and will depend on the ability of the E&N to develop a viable freight business.

For now, you still have the chance to go to Victoria and ride the RDCs.  It is a day well spent and you'll enjoy the last of a very sturdy breed.
