VIA Rail

[Admiral Beez]

The problem is not Via.The problem is CN and the way they fit them in their system. A simple fine system that would cost CN more to let Via run late would be a good start. Reality is, outside of the Corridor, Via has no desire to take any share of cars or planes.

Is there any successful passenger rail system that depends on the access and goodwill of freight rail owners? HFR must have its own rails.

Rocky Mountaineer does OK, although their timekeeping is still at the mercy of CN/CP. But check out the fares and you will see the problem for VIA.
