mk.ndrsn Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Amtrak unveils plans for enhanced and new service including to Montreal... how's it going VIA? Citation Investment in America’s infrastructure is critical to the economic and environmental well-being of our nation. As we look to the future, Amtrak is exploring new opportunities to better connect communities, reduce our carbon footprint, and provide economic benefits for every American. Over the next 15 years, Amtrak’s vision for expansion will connect up to 160 communities throughout the United States by building new or improved rail corridors in over 25 states. Amtrak’s plan will benefit all Americans and impact rural main street and urban city centers. Amtrak will introduce new stations in over half of U.S. states, increase rail service to 47 out of the top 50 metropolitan areas, and create over half a million new, well-paying jobs.

Né entre les rapides Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Le 2021-03-31 à 22:15, mk.ndrsn a dit : Amtrak unveils plans for enhanced and new service including to Montreal... how's it going VIA? https://www.amtrakconnectsus.com/ VIA is perfectly capable of having visions too, and so are we. In fact, we've seen many in the past. I am not against visions extending over a period of 15 years..., but I am mostly interested in seeing contracts in writing for the actual construction of a project. I am not asking for the moon, not asking to immediately see a completed project, just asking to see action on the ground... altough sometimes this by itself is not a guarantee that the envisioned project will (ever) be completed -- e.g. the California High-Speed Rail project. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator mtlurb Posted May 24 Administrator Share Posted May 24 Train Montréal-New York: plus de 5000 passagers pour le premier mois Au total, 5357 passagers ont profité du retour du train reliant Montréal et New York en avril dernier. Celui-ci s’est mis en branle le 3 avril dernier pour la première fois depuis 2020. Le service avait été mis sur pause en raison de la fermeture de la frontière terrestre qu’a entraînée la pandémie de COVID-19. Il n’avait pas été rétabli malgré la réouverture de la frontière en 2021. Il faut environ 11 heures au train, le «Adirondack», pour effectuer le trajet. Il est prévu que des trains plus rapides soient déployés entre 2026 et 2029 pour réduire le temps de trajet. Ces trains pourront atteindre une vitesse maximale de 200 km/h, contre 177 km/h actuellement. La ligne de train est le fruit d’une collaboration entre VIA Rail et Amtrak. La compagnie américaine n’ayant pas répondu aux questions de Métro, il est impossible de savoir s’il s’agit d’une augmentation du nombre de passagers par rapport à avril 2019. https://apple.news/A6J3n7zchQ-SggjeCW4zhGw 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
