View Full Version : CANADA | High Speed Rail Canadian74 August 10th, 2007, 02:36 AM Here's the full story... http://www.metronews.ca/story_local.aspx?id=67804 Xelebes August 10th, 2007, 10:44 AM Heh... metronews. hkskyline August 10th, 2007, 11:05 AM I'm surprised it'd be between Calgary and Edmonton while the much heavier-populated corridor from Windsor-Toronto-Montreal can't sustain one. Canadian74 August 10th, 2007, 07:57 PM ^^ Isn't VIA already there? hkskyline August 10th, 2007, 08:27 PM ^^ Isn't VIA already there? VIA is not high speed rail. Canadian74 August 10th, 2007, 09:16 PM I know that... But atleast there is rail service. There is absolutely no rail service between Calgary and Edmonton. elfreako August 11th, 2007, 01:23 PM Would be nice to eventually see an Edmonton-Calgary-Vancouver-Seattle high-speed rail link. It would definiitely be one of the most scenic journeys in the world! Xelebes August 12th, 2007, 09:47 AM I don't think one between Calgary and Vancouver will happen anytime soon. We might have it go up to Fort McMurray - or if Saskatchewan's population booms once again, one to Regina and Saskatoon will happen. mr.x August 12th, 2007, 10:04 AM one from Vancouver to Calgary would be quite expensive with all those mountains, if at all possible.......and not to mention bloody expensive. i wouldn't be surprised if it cost more than a hundred billion with all those geological issues. Xelebes August 12th, 2007, 10:14 AM Between Munich and Venice there is only one mountain range. Between Calgary and Vancouver, there is at least 3 mountain ranges. mr.x August 12th, 2007, 10:28 AM Between Munich and Venice there is only one mountain range. Between Calgary and Vancouver, there is at least 3 mountain ranges. yea, precisely.....and the biggest of them all, the Rockies. maybe we could lure all the Chinese again to build the high-speed railway just like how we got them to build the Pacific railroad in the 1800's.:lol: Cheap labour. elfreako August 12th, 2007, 11:43 AM Yeah, wishful thinking. Hey, why not get the Japanese or Swiss to built you a 500km tunnel? geoking66 August 26th, 2007, 09:00 AM Yeah, wishful thinking. Hey, why not get the Japanese or Swiss to built you a 500km tunnel? Well the Japanese built the longest rail tunnel in the world, why not do it again? Anyway, I'm surprised that a high-speed link between Windsor and Ottawa has never been developed, maybe even a connection to Detriot. trainrover January 8th, 2012, 09:52 PM No wonder this very thread itself had been listed at the bottom of my "high speed" thread search here in this forum :D For the record ;) 10cXpd8haQQ trainrover January 8th, 2012, 11:26 PM http://www.skyscrapercity.com/images/icons/icon6.gif vhlh7JJVc50 ETYDiT4h4oU qegIRh9DFHc 8iLBP0qPg_k 5-ght8Zzf3k Neb81 March 13th, 2012, 03:27 AM No wonder this very thread itself had been listed at the bottom of my "high speed" thread search here in this forum :D For the record ;) Damn, you beat me to it!
