When we have roads, we do not prioritize one over the other. We do build so that as much can fit. Trucks are passed all the time on highways. This goes more to a private system being about maximizing profits and a public system maximizing equity. If the rails were nationalized, and each carrier...

Both may one day happen. Not sure which would be first.

I know there are lots of issues with the maps. In fact, most times it draws a picture of anything, it is horrible.However, using the text option you can get the jest of it. It is the fine details where it breaks down. So, if it was real world plan, someone would fact check it. So, the place...

I agree if there was even a slim chance of it happening these things would be worthy of further discussion. Right now? I think a Maglev in Canada is more on the horizon....

If White River could see some sort of transportation connection more than the crew bus then it would work. It would also need to have their restaurant(s) open sooner to not feel rushed to eat before the train leaves. And, maybe some sort of common room/tavern/community center is needed so that...

Englehart is the main base train crews for ONR are based out of. Seniority would get you to other locations. Experience running Newmarket Sub/Bala Sub may change that. You do not automatically become an engineer.You would start at conductor and work your way up, gaining seniority. However, you...

They have been doing that for the last year. A new hire won't necessarily be the Northlander crew.

That is why I said tool, not that it is the be all end all. It has flaws that you need to fact check things.

The issue is not who will pay for it or not, it is the almost opaque way ALTO is handling this. They should have contacted people like the OFSC and OFATV for them to voice their concerns. The other thing is, because HSR requires arrow straight lines, the old Havelock sub will not be used in its...

Basically seems what most want to say to get their HSR.

But then you have this to deal with: https://www.ofsc.on.ca/news/impact-proposed-alto-high-speed-rail-network-ontario-prescribed-snowmobile-trails Impact of the Proposed ALTO High-Speed Rail Network on Ontario Prescribed Snowmobile Trails 7 April 2026 OFSC OFSC Responds to ALTO train The...

What if it turns out her house does sit on the ROW they actually build on? That could always be a real possibility. How do you appease those people who will be affected?

Notice how I post less? But take the discussion on ALTO. It is able to show how much better the overall area with Via service still intact would still serve though that may be against it.

There is a tool I have tried using and have found it to be quite interesting. For instance If I want to find out how Toronto would be shaped different if the various planned projects were built, or what if we started building HSR when the TGV was built, or even what would it take to put...

How freight crews operate is they may be taxied home. I'd imagine ONR may put them on an ON bus home.
