Something incredible is happening. Passenger rail, the most sustainable form of long-distance travel, is coming back to #Canada.

We have 49,000 kms of tracks.

But many of the 6.6M Canadians living in remote, rural, and northern settings have few transport options鈥攑articularly as inter-city bus service has been axed. For them, trains can be a true life-line.

The Globe and Mail

Opinion: Canada鈥檚 passenger rail lines are getting revived after decades of vanishing service

Over the next year, I'll be riding every passenger train in #Canada. (Starting today, when I board The Canadian from #Vancouver to #Toronto.)

I'll be sharing what I see and learn in my HIGH SPEED blog:
