    I am on my second VIA Rail trip (first was 2 days ago) returning from Kingston, Ontario to Toronto so I can catch a plane home to New York!

    I am seeing so much CN traffic and loving it.

    Cannot believe how many flags are carried by CN. Saw a lot of Union Pacific (imagine that!).

    Anyway Candian Rails rock!!!

    You're posting from the train? That's a first for us I think... someone actually posting on TrainBoard from a train. Sounds good to me. :) :thumbs_up:

    Yeah, even though I am not in VIA 1 (First Class) I can get a full WiFi connection for the duration of the ride (well actually another 38 minutes when my laptop's battery dies).

    I can't wait until Amtrak finally starts their WiFi on Acela (never will happen I believe!).

    Anyway Canadian Railroads rock-totally loving it!

    That is cool...!

    If you haven't, you should try VIA1. Very nice way to travel, and for short distances (under 4 hours) it beats the heck out of the plane... ;)

    Stations will have WiFi

    Via Rail is in the process of installing WiFi facilities at most of the manned corridor stations.
