I am guessing you did not enjoy the trip between Cartier and Bisco. Yes, it would make sense that once that gets going the ACR would be used for it. My assumption is the crossing would be put back in. ...where do I apply? And would they even want to hear it?

I feel the HxR project is on course to open before the EC......

Honestly, I doubt that if a full Budd service arrived it would warrant a new motel. The Continental Motel lists 54 rooms. The White River Motel does not list how many they have. Before I came, they did have about 70 people ride the route and stay in the town. There were enough rooms. My...

Same here. They have said that it will be running by 2026, but there is no date on when exactly. So,'IDK' would be more wrong. They still need to build all the stations, get the trains and then train and test everyone and everything.

2026?

They,just like I, know that they are not going to listen. During hands fall in, they want to hear "Yes Sir!" "Good,Sir!" and "Thank you, Sir!" Saying much else makes you an "Administrative burden"(Ask me how I know...) Listening to the underlings about ways that your company could do better is...

The difference between doing it in Winnipeg Regina Saskatoon Calgary Edmonton, or just anywhere is that unlike those cities, Toronto and the GTA has a relatively large passenger/commuter rail footprint to would stand to benefit from this. There has been the thought locally in Sudbury to get CP...

As residents of the area, they see potential that someone in Montreal may not see. Realize that the Agawa Canyon train is over 20 cars long and carries over 900 people a day when it is running. You are assuming I am thinking that large or broad. I am thinking that the RDC 1 and 2 get filled. So...

I listed 2 of the more popular bus routes ONR Bus operates to show that it have some teething issues. Thinking about it though, the single daily additional Sudbury - North Bay run would be short enough for the bus to make it back to the charging place. Regardless of where they use it, they will...

What about a land swap? They give up the Midtown Corridor and Milton line to the new junction, and they get the land to lay tracks? If worded right, it could be spun as a deal for the people in the GTA.

They both have different perspectives. The key thing should be that they both listen to each other, and each try to understand each other's view.

I thought it was much higher.

So, it might make Sudbury -Toronto or North Bay -Toronto on a change, with no traffic.....

Wait,you mean all the things they haven't heard of is coming true? ...Point I was making is that the lowly crew can see what the big wigs can't. I feel it is kept due to the "not worth the cut" mentality. It survived the big cuts. So, since no new rounds of cuts were introduced, it has...

On the weekend, I took a ride on the Budd car between Sudbury and White River. A few things from the train crew: 1) they do not know when/if the Budds will be replaced. They have been hearing it for over 10 years. 2) If replaced with conventional equipment, a dome car would be a good thing to...

I do not see a scenario where the government, regardless of who is in power, would nationalize the railways. The shear cost would be in the Trillions. Besides, having their picture by an upgraded rail line is always good for politics.

If it were gone, the lost revenue from ONR's customers would be CP's new customers.So, it is not just the stuff along the line, but the stuff on ONR's line that makes the CN Newmarket Sub worth having.

The Washago Yard has been scaled down over time. Stand at the station and you can see just how much has been removed. If CN wanted to sell it off to the government, they could simply put back the old yard and it might be enough to handle what would normally just continue to Mac Yard.

CN was publicly owned till 1995. Look at all that has been abandoned and ask what if we privatized roads if we would still have what we have.

That goes back to professionalism. No amount of buses on standby can replace the professionalism of the Via staff.
