What's the track speed for passenger trains in this part of Canada? I do know that outside America's high speed corridors on the East Coast, some lines in the midwest, and some lines in California, and some other places, the typical track speed is only 80 MPH (it's actually 79 but trains do go a little over 80, but only at like 83 tops) at top speed for passenger trains. Those trains really do fly.
Track speed in this part of Canada (Quebec City-Windsor corridor) tops out at 100mph. They really move. Of course outside of Canada there is much faster than that.
They look like a DPU but the are actually MU'd or multiple unit. Same as if you had 2 locomotives hooked together on a freight train at the front. VIA has a cableling system that runs through all the LRC coaches (kinda like an extension cord) this allows them to hook up additional locomotives and or additional train sets.
The second scene is at Newtonville at the end of Nichols Road. There used to be wooden bridges that crossed over the CP Belleville Sub as well as the CN Kingston Sub. Both bridges are now gone with no access to this location. The CN bridge was struck by a dimensional load on a freight train and the CP bridge was dismantled. If I was to guess it needed repairs and it was also a bridge to nowhere (aside from usage by railfans)
MTA has extreme turns that need to be rounded off, and wooden ties replaced with concrete. Metro North is not as bad which is why they do 82mph in some places.

Via 6444 is in this video - The crash that destroyed it was 11 years ago. How time flies.
It's so cool hearing the K5LA in the distance as Its already passed by
I love the sound of those horns on that locomotive!!!
Same here! they sound sooooo good! 🙂
0:04 Nice Hybrid K5LA VIA 918
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Amazing video of the via rail trains! Via rail trains usually goes fast in most places in Canada!
Thank you! They do really fly by!
Such a great TH-camr I even took Inspiration from him, nice job😊
Thank you! 🙂 Im glad you liked them!
6:54 beautiful K5LA
Thanks! Such a sweet sound for sure. 🙂
5:06-5:23 best F40PH melody, change my mind
Yup a great sound! Always sounds fast regardless of speed. 🎵🙂
5:41 Beautiful K5LA On VIA 914
Fo sho! 🙂
8:56 Amazing K5LA Horn on 907
good trains mix, like it
Thanks! 🙂
Nice catch my dear
Thank you! 🙂
Excellent work
Thank you! 🙂
Awesome captures! 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you! 🙂
Good job i love your video i sub and i love VIA rail
Thank you!! 🙂
@@100m.p.h. Thank you for your video
Grass growing on the tracks? Perhaps railroad corporations are more eco-friendly than I once thought.
Bro awesome video
Thank you!! 🙂
Some of the air horns on these VIA locos are useless. I've been at crossings where they're barely audible.
I think the horns get fouled with dirt and debris and need to be cleaned but that would be with horns on all locos
They should’ve never replaced the P42 horns. The current ones sounds awful
I agree with you, they shouldn’t have replaced them, but I don’t think the current P42 horns (K5CA-LS) sound too bad. I decently like them.
I fourth that!🙂
I’d rather both, but the SC42’s more, kinda like a synth version of the P42’s
@@Goofy1trainofficial They have a unique ring to them for sure.
2:32 is that VIA 84 at Norval??
Yup!

@ 1:30 is that P42 a DPU

Where was the 2nd scene shot?

How can ya'll go so fast around the tracks like that without derailing, here in NYC the metro north derails if it goes at that speed
I guess the track speed is better up north? 🤣
