VIA Rail 95

[mccarron969]

No better feeling than to put distance between you and THAT city.

[jeffdavis13]

very cool Great job

[stcatharinesrailfan]

what engine was pulling you guys

[supertouring]

Awsome, the speed freak that I'am, this video is very cool .

[PatrickTomaszewski10]

@supertouring The tracks have been even further improved now!...Its even smoother and faster. Many 100/mph zones now on that stretch.

[NeoArashi]

I like how it looks like the CN Tower is actually GROWING, instead of ''Shrinking'' like the rest ogf the city for a while.

[nytnt4u]

This beats driving ther Gardiner.

[ACLTony]

I still enjoy watching this vid. The combination of speed and the "rail music" coming from the wheels rolling on the welded rail is super cool. :-)

[NeoArashi]

@ACLTony Thumbs up to your comment :) You're one of the first I actually ''saw'' who actually call the noise made by the train ''music'' (appart from me)

[ACLTony]

@NeoArashi - Thanks. The train sounds are so unique & I have fond memories of enjoyable train rides with my family. One other thing I do is listen to cool jazz when I ride trains as it goes together so well with 70mph track music. I don't mean the "sleepy slow stuff". I'm referring to Jazz from Joyce Kooling (tunes like "Daddy-O" & "Expression), Paul Brown (24/7), and Chuck Loeb.

[ACLTony]

This is cool! Neat how the train gradually picks up speed and cruises at a pretty nice clip. Looks like between 70-80mph. For those criticizing, the view from a passenger train is also a unique perspective as you'll traverse through areas not accessible by auto. To me, riding a passenger train is a relaxing experience and much less hectic than flying.

@ACLTony yep you dont have to go through metal detectors

[TheOneEcylpse]

boring, you should get some other views. Looking at the back is dull.

[italiancanuck89]

What's the speed limit there?

[pilotmanmax]

Well for the most part 90MPH or 140+km/h it depends on what track and restrictions etc.

[PatrickTomaszewski10]

95 MPH for the most part between toronto Union and Aldershot.

[mapleleafsforever]

@PatrickTomaszewski10 : Aldershot is in the other direction. CN Rail speed limit is 110-130mph.

[PatrickTomaszewski10]

Aldershot is just past Oakville. CN Rail speed limit is 110 - 130mph!...wow....I guess all the track work they just recently did paid off.

[GEES44DC]

@PatrickTomaszewski10 Top trains speeds in Canada are 60mph for freight and 100mph for passenger.

[mccarron969]

@GEES44DC This guy is correct. 

[howardkevinm]

@PatrickTomaszewski10 the canadian can go over 100? thats cool.

[GEES44DC]

@mapleleafsforever Um, freight train maximum speed in Canada is 60mph and passenger is 100mph.

[kaizerzydeco]

@GEES44DC I've clocked VIA at 108 MPH near Gananoque. They regularly exceed the speed limits.

[GEES44DC]

@kaizerzydeco I'd get your radar checked. If those guys are going that fast they are basically wanting to go to jail. Max passenger speed in Canada is 100mph. There is no way any crew would willingly and purposely go 8mph over the speed limit.

[kaizerzydeco]

@GEES44DC It's more than just a little pathetic that 100 mph is considered high speed in Canada. By modern standards, it's pretty pokey.

[GEES44DC]

@kaizerzydeco But 100mph at crossings where there is no protection what so ever is pretty fast.

[LMB222]

@kaizerzydeco By modern standards in North America this is not that bad. What lacks here is the overhead catenary, which would allow quick acceleration for commuter trains.

[StCatharinesRailFan8]

@mapleleafsforever limit is 95 mph tops. although some engineers go a bit over 100mph

[mccarron969]

@mapleleafsforever VIA's max speed is 100mph, and CN's is significantly slower.

[Mendoncaz]

Trés bonne votre video nous faire voyager!!!

[supertouring]

Awsome, Awsome, Awsome, that flat spot on that wheel is not a flat spot anymore.

[Mszeliga95]

why did u stop the video u didnt even make it to port credit go?

[lexmarks567]

the train was haulin ass

[railfancody]

Excellent! This train goes through Grimsby.

[rhys2112]

Too bad you couldn t play it backwards. You could call it a cab ride from Oakville to Toronto.

[greg278]

Excellent video, I really enjoyed it!!
