In August 2006 the balloon track at Halterm was being repaired and VIA had to back the 20 car Ocean with two locomotives 15.6 miles to Windsor Junction NS in order to turn the train prior to its return trip to Montreal. The Park cars were specially fitted with two ditch lights for this move.
This video combines footage shot on two different days in order to illustrate the operation at as many locations as possible. On the second evening the VIA train has to wait for the daily container train (CN#121) to pass before it could return to Halifax in the dark.
