    VIA Rail

    Thats a super handy reference. Thanks for sharing that! At the moment there really are not too many that would make sense to bring back. I know the route to Gaspe could come back if they fix the bad sections of track, but information is non-existent how that is, or isn't, coming along...

    Moose Rail (National Capital Region)

    Relevant to this are a number of stories I came across this afternoon doing some research. In Gatineau they are looking at the possibility of a Tramway that would run from Aylmer to to downtown Gatineau (aka Hull), with possible connections over the Prince of Wales bridge and connection to the...

But this is also a proposal they wouldn't have put forward in the past, so if that can change, so...

    Moose Rail (National Capital Region)

    And that is why that question was first on my list. It is a huge question mark in terms of what exactly this means for VIA's future ambitions. Who is to say that VIA, since they are already going to be upgrading these lines, might look at places like Richmond to the west of Ottawa and Vars to...

    Moose Rail (National Capital Region)

    Hi Joseph, This will be a bit long but I wanted to start by saying that I think the idea of regional rail in the National Capital region, and towns beyond, is a really interesting one and who’s time seems to be coming soon. I actually lived in Ottawa for 8 years, and spent a another 10 years...
