Seriously, I have no life.
I rode on Amtrack in 2007, from MKE to Chicago- LOTS of stops! Otherwise, it was fine.

AFAIK it will not be an elevated system but it will be interesting to see how they cope with the snow. Canada's train systems are diesel locomotives but the high speed trains I've been on elsewhere were electric. I'm curious too know if they will electrify that line. Part of the problem here is that a lot of the old rail lines have been closed and removed or turned into multi-use trails. I enjoy those trails but the result is that passenger trains share the rails with freight and the freight operators own the tracks. Hard to guarantee good passenger service with that arrangement. I still love taking the train from London to Toronto. Traffic on HWY 401 has become too congested and the service on VIA trains is generally pretty good.

Wish I knew about this one. St Thomas is not too far from here.

Well I do live in freaking Fl. Yes back in the day when I lived in Orlando. And the monorail its only at Disney,. They have been trying to get it connected to OIA and downtown Orlando. But its not going to happen. That service today happens on Brightline.So you've never ridden the monorail at Disney?

I didn't know that they tried to connect the Disney line. With the hate the current administration has for Disney, yeah, that's not going to happen.
I did enjoy watching Behind the Attraction on Disney+. The episode on the monorail and other transport systems was interesting to watch.

We were hiking through Dundas Ontario (near Hamilton) and came across one of the many rail lines converted to multi-use trails. They retained the old train station and had a couple of passenger cars on site. The building was quite nice and in good condition.

Visiting the fjords in Norway? You've got to see them by train. Even on a cloudy day....it's magic.

TV Ontario in Canada broadcasts "The World's Most Scenic Railway Journeys" and has featured some of the NW European railway lines. Some beautiful scenery up there.

That's very nice but driving a car gives many more opportunities for great scenery.
