On 30 November 2021, VIA Rail and Siemens unveiled new passenger train sets for numerous services departing Toronto, beginning in 2022. The trains are pulled by slick new Siemens Charger locomotives, basically the de facto standard new intercity rail locomotive in North America. VIA’s Charger is a variant, known as the SC-42, and has a distinct design that looks better than most of the railroad’s trains, as shown in Figure 1. The units are capable of speeds up to 200 km/h, or 125 mi/h, although VIA won’t be operating that fast on current services, largely due to track quality. Yet, the improved performance of the new fleet will help upgrade service speeds by about 5% to reduce trip times.

2021 年 11 月 30 日，VIA Rail 和西门子推出了新的客运列车组，从 2022 年开始，这些列车将由多伦多出发，提供多种服务。这些列车由新型的西门子 Charger 机车牵引，这基本上是北美事实上的新型城际铁路机车标准。 VIA 的 Charger 是一种变体，称为 SC-42，具有独特的设计，看起来比大多数铁路列车都要好，如图 1 所示。这些装置的速度可达 200 公里/小时，或 125 英里/h，尽管威盛在当前服务上的运行速度不会那么快，这主要是由于轨道质量。然而，新机队性能的改进将有助于将服务速度提高约 5%，从而减少行程时间。
