There's what? 3 double decker buses to meet the GO trains at mount Pleasant now on weekends? The demand is there and at some point it becomes more economical to run trains instead of at least 3 buses.

At that point the train itself becomes a safety hazard with no AC and unopenable (word?) windows. VIA really needs to set up a proper saftey to deal with disabled trains. I took the Canadian years ago during the dead of winter. We were stuck near Melville. delayed for hours but with running...

I already built one of those in Lego 😉

Have you thought about using my app Vandvoyage.com to show the positions of the trains overtaking? send me a DM and we can chat about features and things that would help out. *shameless plug over*

I like this little detail 😊 Great trip report! Next time you’re on the one that’s stuck for 10 hours please give us a play by play commentary as the train turns into Lord of the Flies.

There is little to no "rail to air" cargo. If you want it fast you go by air. If you want it cheap you go by train and ship.

Completely agree. VIA should start referring to Ottawa Station as "Ottawa Tremblay Station". The same way they do "Toronto Union".

I really wish my favourite fake hallmark Christmas movie: Missile Tow starring Liam Neeson finally gets made.

Interesting. Great to see this happening. Although I'm going to miss this quirky crossing.

If that's the case then there must be a plan to upgrade the crossing at Blackbridge Road. The only "4 way" stop involing a railway I've ever been to...
