Last year Doug called an election and ended up with MORE seats and MORE votes and it wasn't just because of what platform the opposition was offering. We are a province richly stocked with people who are only looking out for themselves - some for selfish motives, some because the property bubble...

And what happens when the house is cleaned at Metrolinx and the new GO managers come in and sit at their desks and find in the top drawer an envelope with a note saying “Doug spent all the money on Ontario Line; there’s no money for you to build or buy, any more than there was for us”

Except to intending passengers.

Is the January 2027 date the first time an LRC retirement date has been formally stated?

good question. Probably safe to assume that it's not practical to have 2 locos on all such consists. But as you say maybe wyeing is already exceptional such that it doesn't cause an issue.

From what I read elsewhere, it looks like the buffer cars may in some/most cases be LRCs, just running non-revenue and no crew access.

I am getting 403 Forbidden when trying to access the Map but the forum is fine Okay looks like the web server the News and Maps sub sites use doesn’t like my Bell Fibe router (74.12.251.182) but is fine with my cell

Indian railways have done R&D on extended height pantographs to facilitate that. https://m.indiarailinfo.com/blog/post/1007216 Presumably that also means a higher structure gauge and any grade separations being more heavily weighted to rail over road.

It seems to me simpler to discontinue White River than go looking to CP for hundreds of more route miles of Canadian ops and relocate Capreol operations to somewhere on the CP route @lenaitch re your comment about GO north. Before reinstatement of Northlander I would have gone along with that...

Nippon have shipped UPX-type DMUs from Japan before, but need to use a better shipping company this time https://ecoring.org/posts/four-new-rail-cars-costing-11-million-damaged-upon-delivery-to-smart/

when I lived near East General the noise which made me look up in irritation was seaplanes, given their slow climb rate and propensity to follow the DVP. At least the Q400s stayed over the lake and had a decent climb rate. Maybe it's time those folks heard "why are you still flying when the...

Legislation by whom? Queens Park? Sure - they could contract in the TSB as the rail accident investigator of record and put a provision in the relevant provincial statutes that the TSB can initiate investigations when it deemed appropriate as if it were an independent Ontario agency. However...

Some disquiet in Gravenhurst over the choice to build a shelter rather than use the heritage station? https://muskokatoday.com/2026/03/ontario-northlands-ceo-being-hauled-before-gravenhurst-council-tuesday-to-explain-why-towns-train-station-wont-be-next-stop-for-this-summer-return-of-passenger-ra/

At least with the Newmarket you only have to worry about relationships with CN since the OVR doesn’t seem to have a main track connection with it. With Kitchener London you would have at least GEXR and VIA underfoot too, plus a CP diamond in London…

I think anyone who has heard the “dying whale” sound of a geared turbofan overhead might doubt that the new gen jets are necessarily quieter. Re the ferry, I could see the proponents of this offering a tunnel under the current 06/24 through the airport lands, connecting to the existing foot...
