If we look at where most yards are, that would likely serve most businesses. However, for those other businesses that do not have spurs to them but still want to use containerization, a siding and one of those would work well.
A paved parking lot with rail access would suffice. You can pave over the rails like streetcar tracks to make it easier.
Kingston has a lounge but it's nothing special. Too bad Windsor doesn't have one.
so theyre once again stalling... 6 years of further study and design. that means we wont see any construction until at the very least the end of the decade....
well if theyre negotiating now, perhaps a contract award by years end and then 2 to 3 years for the first trainset to arrive. perhaps the initial operations by end of 2027/8
I haven't seen anything out that would have shown they are in negotiations.
Back in 2018, when Budget 2018 announced at around the same time the funding for the Corridor fleet, the contract was indeed signed in December the same year. However, I would be surprised if that happens again, given that this procurement is much larger and more complex, with fewer obvious bidders. Anyways, let the RFQ and RFP begin!
No change was announced to the RFP winner annoucemment timeline. It was most recently publicly stated by the VIA HFR CEO at the TRBOT Transportation Symposium. So premature to say anything has stalled in my view.so theyre once again stalling... 6 years of further study and design. that means we wont see any construction until at the very least the end of the decade....
I think that is excessively optimistic, given historical procurement and that VIA have indicated they will rebuild the F40s. I can't see VIA committing until they see what Amtrak ends up with and can potentially piggyback as they did the corridor fleet.
