Now heading back to Montreal in a beautiful #ViaRail Budd car consist with a loco each at the front and back. Not sure, if it is push-pull or pull-push. Either way. We have enough power for a 1-min early departure 🤔 #traintoot

Canada High Speed Rail Project Updates
https://youtube.com/watch?v=M0eyGjhunPo&si=moY_Pi1m4VcFyOVnSeems as if the project is working out the details of the alignment. I'm not sure where exactly this video gets its information though...
It claims that the alignment will have a station in downtown #Montréal, approached from #Laval, possibly with a new tunnel under Mount Royal.

Return trip on #ViaRail from Montreal to Toronto and we are on an old train again. I wasn’t surprised, as this morning I took the REM to Brossard and counted 8 parked new trains in the yard — 25% of the new fleet. And that’s just the ones here not in use, never mind Ottawa’s or Toronto’s storage tracks.
Also the drinks are smaller and weaker in business class now. Never gonna attract people to trains THAT way. 😜

Well that’s a new one: approaching Cornwall our #ViaRail train has to wait for not a freight train, but another VIA train, to depart the station before we can arrive.

Disappointed to find my #ViaRail corridor train using ancient equipment from 1981, despite the new trains all being delivered long ago. I should have done my research - the #Siemens Ventures are having nonstop problems, and a third of the fleet or more is out of service: https://www.reddit.com/r/ViaRail/s/kjcGkIfBJL
I was excited for new train with clean air. Guess I’ll be sick next week.

Ugh the 'stuck on a #ViaRail train' thing is such a part of my life. I can't count how many times it's happened to me over the decades. In my first 20-25yrs the train was a big piece of life in a railway town.
Cold waiting for a connecting train in Sudbury, with the train 12-14hrs late due to prairie weather.
Even more recently taking a 3hr train from Montreal, realizing I could've driven to MTL and back in the time we were stuck in the middle of nowhere. Double-ugh.
