That's precisely my concern. Small window to get this achieved. This has to be negotiated and agreed upon with CPKC before the developers start constructing warehouses and homes right up against the 413.

Should they? Yeah. Will they? Don't know. Back in 2019, CN and CSX announced an agreement that would see CN moving more containers out of CSX's BUffalo yard and into Toronto and Montreal. These containers at CSX's Buffalo yard are typically coming from and going to the New York, Jersey and...

Nah mate, it's all good. I didn't mean to come across as jaded in my response. If Ontario and the Feds can susccesfully negotiate; - CPKC to construct some sort of bypass around Toronto. A bypass that would involve running parallel with the proposed 413. Would make constructing the western...

I posteds this in the Missing Link/ 407 freight bypass thread, but figured it would also be fitting to post in this thread. Simply pointing out that if CN had agreed to construct the 407 freight bypass, the area right above the intersection of Trafalgar Rd & Steeles would have served as a...

Apologies, don't take my word for it. It was a guesstimate. It was more like 4 days (rail transit time). Loaded train in Edmonton, flew out the next day, and then 2 days after flying back to Toronto. The CN website I believe offers up rail transit times. This article from the CN website offers...

Now that I'm back home from work; We already take reefer trucks off the road via reefer containers on trains. We don't need to race goods to their destination to keep them fresh when we can maintain their freshness throughout the entire trip via reefers and a generator setup. We put a...

We already had this discussion. "Piggy backing" has been made obsolete by shipping containers. They have reefer containers they can load onto trains for temperature sensitive products. I would discuss more, but I'm literatelly about to start my shift at CN where I'm going to load containers on...

Unless I'm misreading your post, the Midtown is already used by CPKC to run freight and the York sub by CN. So I'm not exactly sure what you mean by using these lines as freight rail bypasses.

Apologies if this has been talked about already on this thread. The REM in Montreal has absorbed the entire tunnel under Mount Royal making any future prospects of connecting Quebec City to this line much more challenging. Are there plans to construct a whole new tunnel under Mount Royal? And...

Has MX started repainting the MP40's in the newer livery?

Put a stop at Sheppard & Rivalda Rd. for a future, direct connection with the Bolton GO line.

Sounds about right. Does CN have any desire to get rid of the Doncaster diamond? Is there a slow order going over it? I know that was the reason why CN removed the OBRY diamond in DT Brampton. I figure if CN wants to get rid of the Doncaster diamond, they'll share the cost with MX to grade...

But Doug Ford says it's getting built. 🤔

This post was just a general question. Had no relation to my last post about the famous musician.

Does Miway offer an airport shuttle bus between Malton GO and the airport? EDIT: General question. Not related to my previous post.

Whatever time savings you get from taking the GO or UP at Bloor versus taking the subway, will be chipped away to "0" at the rate they're adding stops to the Kitchener line in Toronto.

Someone on Reddit is claiming that some famous musician by the name of Sabrina Carpenter used a GO train to get out of Toronto. She sat in the last car and security prevented anyone else from boarding. Anyone know if this is true? Has Toronto traffic gotten that bad? Are we going to see this...

Ottawa (pre-LRT) is definitely a better example of an all encompassing bus transitway network. The Mississauga transitway comes nowhere close to it. It's pretty sad actually.

That's literatelly what is it. Re-read the first couple sentences. Nothing more than a statement from the Provincial goovernment expressing their desire to see AD2W GO on the Milton line. They even ask the Federal government to step up and provide funding. Nothing concrete. Having said all...
