    Kids, you should have seen how bad it was before! I have used this VIA route for decades and it has improved. New trains are in the works.

    In '88 I took a Via Rail train from Ottawa to Montreal (Dorval actually). We were put into the 'hole' for an opposing CN freight and arrived at Dorval about 20 minutes late! 🙃
