In just a few years, just imagine the new Siemens Charger train sets recently purchased by Via Rail running even faster at a full 110 mph or 177 kph on high frequency dedicated tracks between Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City! Passenger rail enthusiasts really look forward to that day since this project will provide an affordable, more environmentally-friendly, faster, more relevant, reliable and safer travel choice to Canadians!

Will the Canadian cross country to Vancouver ever use the Siemens train sets?
@marclemieux8269

@@divox9pqr It all depends as to whether these Siemens Charger trainsets can be modified for longer distance travel when compared to the Quebec City-Windsor corridor. Costwise, it would make sense to streamline your train sets wherever possible in order to reduce operating costs, considering that Via Rail must operate on a shoestring budget, based on past history.

Looks like a good journey! I'm heading the other way in a few weeks, from Montreal to Toronto, and then from Toronto to Vancouver. Can't wait!

+MarianaBrito009 I don't really have any tips, but if you're taking VIA on this line I would book the tickets in advance, (assuming if you have or not already, I'm not sure) because a lot of people take these trains, not really anything else, just enjoy yourself I guess. And no that's not me talking lol.

I wish It would stop at Vaudreuil-Hudson. That's where I live. I hate having to catch a ride from Dorval.

This is a intercity train, not a intracity train. Frankly it shouldn't even stop at the airport. Take local public transit, local trains or buses. And if you wish for door to door service, hire a cab...

Clearly you just took the slow train. The fast trains on the Toronto-Ottawa route are way faster than anything in Florida including the new Brightline service.

Hi, Is there trains between toronto and thunder bay?
@TracksideTO

Unfortunately not. VIA stopped serving Thunder Bay ever since 1990 because of right-of-way issues with freight carriers.

When I was young I took "The Canadian" from Toronto to Winnipeg along the CP line. The train left Toronto in the evening and joined the train left Montreal in Sudbury. You'd wake up in the morning traveling along the north shore of Lake Superior through Sault Ste. Marie to Thunder Bay, arriving in Winnipeg that night. It's almost as beautiful a trip as the journey through the Rockies. Unfortunately the only people who get to see it now are the freight crews.

Sorry about the typo. One train would leave Toronto & the other would leave Montreal and travel through Ottawa to Sudbury where the two trains would combine to finish the trip to Vancouver. VIA Rail no longer operates the train from Montreal to Sudbury so you have to go to Toronto to take the Transcontinental train.

Sadly most passenger train outside the corridor were cancelled. And when it comes to Europe, train traffic there is much better in most countries with high speed trains going up to 190 mph. Canada and the US have to go back on the cuts in train traffic in the last decades. The potential is there.

The issue is distance in Canada and the United States. The one state of California is larger in size than all of the UK including Northern Ireland. The small province of Nova Scotia is larger in size than England. Imagine how much larger British Columbia is compared to California? The Ocean from Montreal to Halifax travels more distance than the Zurich to Hamburg overnight sleeper train. And we aren't even mentioning the Canadian from Toronto to Vancouver.... Within the past few years the German have ended the overnight sleeper train from Paris to Berlin... The Russians have had to extend their overnight sleeper train to Moscow from Berlin to Paris, three times a week, not everyday service anymore. There are no HSR trains to Moscow from Paris. Yes, Europe and Japan have more HSR trains, but they don't go very far. Frankly, I suspect Toronto is not a large enough hub metro to support HSR like London or Paris anyway... Toronto is NOT New York City...

Or simply put dealing with HSR, if its over 3 hours in length, flying is quicker and more affordable... Spin all you wish, 3 hours is about the limit for HSR.

Distance is not the issue. Sure, Canada is big, but it's not like there's that much travel from Toronto to Vancouver or Montreal to Halifax. Most of the travel is trips like Toronto to Ottawa, Toronto to Montreal, Toronto to Detroit, Ottawa to Montreal, Calgary to Edmonton, Montreal to Québec etc, which would all be less than 3 hours by high speed train.
