No it wasn't. It was delivered on its own wheels as the line was still open and active.
It left the facility on a truck, however.

Why would they need to test another car when the trainset they have was already tested?
Did VIA order cars with doors on each end?

Because the design has evolved and they want to see if their fixes and mods are effective?
Because the spec has changed ?
The diagrams for the VIA coaches are easy to find online if you try a little googling. Maybe even in the VIA thread here on UT.

Kawartha Ethanol operates at the former 3M mine east of the village. Perhaps they are shipping product.

Stop by the London Grade Separation on my way to the US and construction well underway. The road has been shifted to the east with curbs in place. The road goes over the yard switches.

Are they rebuilding some four axle power? I guess 4 axle locomotives are too heavy for switching?

Isn't the buff strength report due in a few days? Any preliminary findings?

I pity that passenger, who would have boarded to be greeted by an entire trainload of people who had sat still for two hours….just for them.

Who every heard of an train arriving 2 hours ahead of schedule considering most maybe on time to a few minute late to hours late? That is a lot time padding.
Unless there was a way to inform the rider that their train was going to early as well able to meet the train sooner, the rider should take things with a gain of salt. Not their fault that riders had to sit 2 hours for them. Now 5-10 minutes is a different story if they were late and the train waited for them.

Can't the train leave early of the passengers are accounted for?

Given how frequently that train is many hours late, they are probably just relieved they'll be on time.
