When she says "isolated", with that accent, I, almost feel exotic! haha! He must have had a satelllite phone. No cell will work up there. The Sault is pretty cool, I must say... Winnipeg isn;t the next city, by the way, it's Wawa(2500 people), then White River , etc., then, Thunder Bay, then, a LONG way past to Winnipeg!!! Driving, from the Soo, to Kenora is 13 hours straight, at least 2 more to Winnipeg!! 15 hours is plain STUPID!! But, our country is just so darn BIG!

Nice video and nice to see the parts north of Canyon. The Hearst part is on a highway and was a wye with the CN mainline [now disassembled section] which would have allowed a very long train [~250 miles] to be turned if there had been a need and the time.

Woods Cabins is where it's at.

Just came back on the ACR from our cabin. Fortunately, the ride is only 1.5 hours from the Soo.

I always look forward to summer vacation when I can sit in the baggage car in a chair, keeping my dog company and swilling Canadian Beer,

@Pinckney12 That's right!! Good beer, good company, eh?

Wow, what a beautiful area this line passes through and what a treat to see Wisconsin Central 3026 and 3027 in their fresh paint! Ironically now Canadian National has bought them back with its purchase of the WC system in 2001 and is letting those one-of-a-kind paint jobs deteriorate into crap!

I've taken the same tour of the line trip on the ACR and liked your video. It's a beautiful scenic ride, with great changes in terrain from the flat clay belt around Hearst to the hills, lakes, and curves of the Algoma Highlands. Recommended if you want a good scenic trip.
