@1jackdk no good beer. They are expensive compared to Yankee's
-
@JBofBrisbane but limited capacity, trains only run one direction at a time unless there using passing loops however this often means the train si stood waiting whilst the opther train clears the section in order to grant the waiting train the token etc it works but its not the best idea for high speed / frequent rail services

@TrowbridgeHardcore - Half as expensive to build as double-track, very important when you're covering VAST distances.

A good rail system is a political decision. I live in Finland, 1,000 km from north to south, 500 km from east to west, but most freight travels by road, and much of this has to do with the modern 'Just in Time' delivery logic. I'd vote for rail development every time!

Is this a filled to capacity once a month train trip? What is the departure and destination? I rode the CN trip from Windsor, ONT via Toronto, ONT, to Vancouver, BC 20+ years ago and it wasn't that long. I don't even think American cross-country trains back in the height of train travel were that long.

@keenedge100 This is the everyday train. VIA #1 and #2 run all the way across Canada. Fall is particularly busy with the color, and the train usually fills up, so it is longer than normal during this season. The ride through the Rockies is spectacular I hear. Thanks for watching.
