Posted by r17-6599 on Wed Aug 27 11:59:45 2014, in response to Re: VIA Rail to Ottawa's O-train., posted by AEM-7AC #901 on Wed Aug 27 03:53:08 2014. I hear what U'r saying, but what gives VIA the edge in that corridor is the illusion of greater speed. The NECorridor/ Regional is 4 track, welded rail. On the VIA run to Ottawa, it is mostly 2 track, (maybe even single track in spots; not sure of that), giving a more enclosed feeling at times. Wheels clickety-clacking, lots & lots of grade crossing making for a very "horny" ride, and the tilting of the LRC's all add up to a super trip. And the beverage carts! Like days of old railroading. Worth the trip.Construction was evident on the O train, but the new O trains were nowhere to be found. jrc |
