The cars were the centrepiece of a new set of intercity passenger trains in Southwestern Ontario. The fleet passed to Via Rail in 1978 and later saw use with the Ski Train, QIT-Fer et Titane, and the Algoma Central Railway. DesignThe cars were constructed out of aluminium.[1] Canadian National rebuilt six MLW RS-18 diesel locomotives to haul them. The locomotives were equipped with head end power (HEP) and painted in a unique red-orange and grey livery.[2] The cars were built to use Canadian National's standard 550 volt HEP; in 1982-83 Via rebuilt them to use 480 volts.[3] The cars rode on "inside bearing trucks with outboard disc brakes."[4] The original fleet consisted of five club/galley cars, five coach/cafe cars, and fifteen coaches. The club cars seated 39, the cafes 16 (in the coach section), and the coaches 80. In 1969 Canadian National rebuilt one of the club cars into an 80-seat coach and another into a 52-seat coach/galley car.[4] The seating in the club car was 2×1, common for parlor cars.[6] When the Canadian National reacquired part of the fleet in 2009 it refurbished the cars, replacing the windows, carpet, and seat upholstery.[5] ServiceThe Tempos entered service on the Canadian National Railway in mid-June 1968.[6] Canadian National operated the Tempos as integrated trainsets. Routes served included Toronto–Windsor and Toronto–Sarnia.[2] At the outset each set comprised a club/galley car, three coaches, and a coach/cafe. Travel time was four hours.[7] The cafe/coach and the addition of luggage racks in the coaches allowed the elimination of dining and baggage cars.[8] In 1971 Canadian National ran five daily "Tempo" trains: four to Windsor and one to Sarnia.[9] Via Rail inherited the fleet and leased the RS-18s. By 1980 the Tempos were limited to the Windsor route.[2] Via later placed the Tempos in service on the Chicago–Toronto International. These were pulled by LRC locomotives.[10] Via Rail stored the five cafe cars in 1986 after a regulatory change permitted it to serve alcohol in coaches.[11] In 1987 Via Rail included up to four Tempo coaches on the International. The cars ran between Toronto and Sarnia on Sundays only. The remainder of the fleet was stored.[12] At the end of 1987 Via sold all but four of the cars. Four of the coaches went to QIT-Fer et Titane, which used them to shuttle workers.[13] 17 cars, including the three remaining club/galleys, the coach/galley, the five coach/cafes, and eight coaches, went to the Ski Train in Denver.[14] On the Ski Train they replaced 1915-vintage cars which had been sold to the Napa Valley Wine Train.[15] Via withdrew its four remaining Tempos in 1990 because of budget cuts.[16] QIT acquired three more coaches in 1998.[13] The sole remaining Via Tempo car, coach No. 370, was reported at the Toronto Maintenance Centre in 2000.[17] After the closure of the Ski Train the Canadian National acquired its rolling stock for use on the Algoma Central Railway.[5] Notes1. ^{{Harvnb|Schafer|2003|p=30}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite journal | url=http://www.railviewmrc.ca/pdf/Bayview.pdf | title=In 24 hours, 76 trains (not counting extras) | author=Roach, Greg | journal=Trains |date=July 1980 | volume=40 | issue=9 | pages=29–41}} 3. ^{{cite journal | url=http://www.bytownrailwaysociety.ca/phocadownload/branchline/1983/1983-05.pdf | title=Miscellaneous News | author=Chapman, Bruce | journal=Branchline |date=May 1983 | volume=22 | issue=5 | pages=11}} 4. ^{{Harvnb|Randall|1974|p=42}} 5. ^1 {{cite news | url=http://trn.trains.com/news/news-wire/2010/11/agawa-canyon-tour-train-to-be-refurbished-repainted | title=Agawa Canyon tour train to be refurbished, repainted | work=Trains | date=12 November 2010 | accessdate=2 May 2015}} {{subscription required}} 6. ^1 {{cite journal | title=Railroad News Photos | journal=Trains |date=September 1968 | volume=28 | issue=11 | pages=8–11}} 7. ^1 {{cite journal | url=http://www.exporail.org/can_rail/Canadian%20Rail_no206_1969.pdf | title=Observations | author=Kemp, F.A. | journal=Canadian Rail |date=January 1969 | issue=206 | pages=28–31}} 8. ^{{cite news|title=World of Travel |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/2044704/tempo_introduced/|newspaper=Ottawa Journal|date=July 8, 1968|page=39|via = Newspapers.com|accessdate = May 2, 2015}} {{Open access}} 9. ^{{cite web | url=https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-OOTXz9dDTcM/U5yNXfPp-kI/AAAAAAAALb0/HLCks1MXcCQ/s800/Image%20%283%29.jpg | title=Inter City Services | publisher=Canadian National Railway | date=1971 | accessdate=2 May 2015}} 10. ^{{cite journal | url=http://www.bytownrailwaysociety.ca/phocadownload/branchline/1982/1982-11.pdf | title=The Motive Power Scene: Via Rail Canada | author=Roberts, Earl | journal=Branchline |date=November 1982 | volume=21 | issue=9 | pages=15}} 11. ^{{cite journal | url=http://www.bytownrailwaysociety.ca/phocadownload/branchline/1986/1986-02.pdf | title=Along the Right of Way | author=Stremes, David | journal=Branchline |date=February 1986 | volume=25 | issue=2 | pages=13–16}} 12. ^{{cite journal | url=http://www.bytownrailwaysociety.ca/phocadownload/branchline/1987/1987-11.pdf | title=Along the Right of Way | journal=Branchline |date=November 1987 | volume=26 | issue=10 | pages=16–17}} 13. ^1 {{cite journal | url=http://www.bytownrailwaysociety.ca/phocadownload/branchline/2006/2006-12.pdf | title=Quebec's North Shore Railways | author=Kimmons, Brian | journal=Branchline |date=December 2006 | volume=45 | issue=11 | pages=3–6}} 14. ^{{cite journal | url=http://www.bytownrailwaysociety.ca/phocadownload/branchline/1988/1988-01.pdf | title=One less than expected | author=Brown, Paul | journal=Branchline |date=January 1988 | volume=27 | issue=1 | pages=15}} 15. ^{{cite journal | url=http://www.trainlife.com/magazines/pages/517/37386/february-1988-page-12 | title=Rio Grande | author=Farewell, R.C. | journal=Pacific RailNews |date=February 1988 | issue=291 | pages=12–13}} 16. ^{{cite journal | url=http://www.bytownrailwaysociety.ca/phocadownload/branchline/1990/1990-09.pdf | title=VIA's 1990 Summer Consists | author=Roberts, Earl | journal=Branchline |date=September 1990 | volume=29 | issue=8 | pages=5–7}} 17. ^{{cite journal | url=http://www.bytownrailwaysociety.ca/phocadownload/branchline/2000/2000-04.pdf | title=To Preserve or Not to Preserve: The Fate of Late 20th Century Trains and Paint Schemes | author=Shron, Jason | journal=Branchline |date=April 2000 | volume=39 | issue=4 | pages=4–5}} References
