Interesting VIA site on the Don Valley

[RobertInOntario]

Thanks for the extra info David.
Rob, it's a far cry from what it was. There aren't even rails in all the provinces any more. The stretch west from Ottawa to meet up in Sudbury is all but gone, with the tracks being pulled in the Ottawa valley only in the past couple of years. In my opinion though, the greatest loss was the shoreline route along the east and north edge of Lake Superior. VIA was forced inland during the Mulroney era I believe.
Still spectacular, but only magnificent if you don't know what you missed.

Thanks, Andrew. So the Lake Superior route is still there, but VIA is not allowed to use it? I'd still love to take this train some day, but I'm sure it costs a lot.

I believe the only provinces that no longer have tracks are PEI and Nfld. -- I'm sure NB and NS still have tracks?

Cheers,
Rob
