Train ride back to North Bay after a weekend on the Polar Bear Express with some great friends! Nothing to do other then sleep or to do what I decided to and that was make a video. I enjoyed both trips north and south on the Northlander as well as the trip on the PBX. AFter this video I spent the remainder of the trip in the snack car reading,eating and watching tv it was great. Thanks to the crew on the Northlander for your willingness to chat I enjoyed myself!
I wish the ONR had a east/west route between Huntsville and Ottawa.

the SB crew from March 31st said that between Washago and Toronto is a bit smoother than the rest of the trip !
CN don't care about the NMKT sub ! it isn't a profitable line for them !
the BALA sub is ! only because it's the transcontinental track !

cool ! I used the front washroom in the front car and it was hotter than hell in it !
the heater wouldn't turn off !
so unless one of the hoggers was coming from the units, I finished my work with the door open !

Ya lol, Well in the washroom they have a vent that when you put your hand to it feels almost like a vacuum . That was perfect for me this way the smoke would be literally sucked out. It was cool lol

My biggest problem was that I smoke and the conductor that day was a smoker too, So about every half hour I would see him walk by me and on this day we had a 5 car consist and the first 2 cars were deadheading. I was in the third car and in this video you will hear me say A little bumpy eh that was me talking to the conductor as he was going up front or the next coach for a smoke! I asked the next time could I join him of course the answer was no. SO I used the washroom to smoke Fuck em I said!

no the ride down wasn't so bad, Nice Crew !
the ride up was boring, that was the nastiest crew ever ! the OBS guy was a jerk - putting everyone in the 2nd coach, and that blonde little twit in the cafe was a bitch - she wouldn't let film form the tail end ! the cafe guy going down didn't say anything, he was actually quite friendly and social as was the young OBS guy !

oh that's funny !
yeah right it would be NICE if a Northlander train were to serve Sudbury !
that would be FREAKING AWESOME !
CN is looking at dumping ACR ?
would there still be ACR passenger services though ? they just bought the old ski train from denver ! which coincidentally happens to be former CN & VIA Tempo cars !

OOPS not the SOO lol I meant Sudbury but who knows anything is possible. CN is looking to dump operations on the ACR anyway,
northlander30 2 years ago
the Soo, WHAT ? WOW !!!!!
it would be nice if she could come here to Greater Sudbury !
Toronto to Sudbury on the CP, then Sudbury to SSM on the HCR. that would be neat ! ONR will probably restore Northlander service to Timmins before they go to SSM !
