Dec 12 (Reuters) - Bombardier Inc BBDb.TO on Wednesday missed out on its second contract in Canada this year after state-owned Via Rail picked Germany's Siemens AG SIEGn.DE for fulfilling a fresh order of locomotives.
Via Rail said on Wednesday it gave Siemens Canada a C$989 million ($741.49 million) contract to replace its current fleet operating in the Quebec City-Windsor Corridor.
In February, Bombardier lost a C$1 billion contract to France's Alstom SA ALSO.PA to provide rail cars for one of the world's biggest light rail systems in Montreal, a project led and financed by its biggest shareholder.
Bombardier was not immediately available for comment. ($1 = C$1.33)
