Now imagine yourself on this modern train on fresh track
cruising up and down the island!
Would you wave at the traffic congestion as you
cruise on your right of way passage?
Would you stare out the window at the spectacular views?
or get that report or paper finished on the way in?
The spectacular views of the Vancouver Island Corridor
Have been hidden for 2 decades!
Now imagine yourself on this modern train on fresh track
cruising up and down the island!
This video is very informative and an eye opening view of what modern trains can offer
Why does Vancouver Island need our Railway back up and running? Here is an explainer video.
The railway will allow us to build up not out costing us billions in infrastructure support costs... it goes well beyond just the roads.
Calgary and Toronto get "burns" in this video!
Switzerland has some of the best trains in the entire world - second, perhaps, only to Japan. What makes these trains so good?
And what is it like to actually ride them?
Rail does things BIG! including replacing old tracks!
See the RU 800 S in action!
This would take care of the bulk of the track,
more sensitive areas, would be prepared first.
I received confirmation that they will
barge this type of equipment in!
In 2011 when the Dayliner shut down,
the population of Vancouver Island was under 760,000 and
the roads weren't the nightmare of accidents and road work
they are today!
The track was also in desperate need of service!
ICF asked for it, but it wasn't funded!
With 900,000 people now, we grew by 140,000 people in 12 years!
What will it look like in another 12 years?
Build another road? have a look at Low Light Mike’s rail line albums
and think about what that would look like for our environment!
We already have this!
I've been hearing all sorts of uninformed posts about the condition of the rail line...
