From 4:40 - 4:54 The canadian is on the CPR bridge at parry sound. very rare for it to be on that bridge since it was pulled from CPR to CNR in 1990. thanks for the rare video
@dudler YES! Flushing in the station dumps the contents of the potty onto the tracks. Amtrak had toilets like that until the 1980's. Thanks for watching.
@dudler He's right. I took a trip in Zurich, Switzerland a few years ago and it had warnings in English and German saying "DO NOT use bathroom when in station." When the train was moving, I peeked under the lid: there was nothing but a hole in the bottom. I am not kidding. I took CHF from Zurich to Venice, Italy. The Italians stopped the train and arrested the guy in the cabin next to me! I don't know much Italian but it sounded like his "passport was not in order."
@howardkevinm they changed it because the beginning hours of the trip you go through Northern Ontario which...compared to the rest of the trip has not as interesting scenery. So by leaving at 10pm instead, by the time you wake up you're through all of the fields and rocks and there's more to see :)
