Glad you enjoyed the Newfie Bullet video. The tracks were very narrow that’s for sure. Yes it was about 26 hours across the island. I would love to be able to do that trip today but preferably over 40 hours or so lol.
Is there any chance you'll get a new Newfie train?
Wow…no wonder they were replaced by CN “Roadliner’s” on the TCH. They did it in less than half the time…
Unfortunately there is no chance of the railway returning. Too few people spread over such a large island to make economic since.
Yes once the TCH was completed coast to coast the passenger train was doomed.
The Lincoln Service trains (which go past my office window daily) are running with a mix of the Venture and older cars currently, with the Business Class/cafe car always being one of the older cars. It'll certainly be nice to have information displays on Lincoln Service showing as much info as the ones on the new VIA Corridor Service trainsets!
I guess I should be happy with the new VIA information displays. I was hoping they would add the current travel speed, distance to next stop, time of arrival next stop.
