Here's why I got stuck last night.

... uh ... starting from the east, you verge off south of the existing track, through the escarpment, through the Acton Quarry, and then through a series of provincially-significant wetlands.If we're looking at a true high speed rail system (300km/h) that means curves with a radius of at least 4km. I've been thinking of something like this between Kitchener and Georgetown:
Following the concessions would be very unpopular ... as that is where all the houses are ... along the concession. And I don't see how you get up the escarpment that way; the concession roads that cross it at Acton are Third Line and 22nd Sideroad ... both have wicked hills.
The existing alignment is amazing ... I don't understand the desire to move it.
