Northlander trains are poised to make a return — and will offer travel to cottage country and beyond.
Northerners say they are now beginning to believe the rail service — which they'd relied on for 110 years before it was cut — will actually return. https://t.co/DhzKQpKY0V
#Sneakpeek
Toured @VIA_Rail’s brand-new Charger trains alongside @OntNorthland CEO Chad Evans
These trains are virtually identical to the ones that will service the reinstated #Northlander
Fully accessible, spacious, WIFI-enabled & more – future riders are in for a real treat!
See @OntNorthland's case study in Earlton to learn about the benefits of modal shift from long haul trucking to rail. #Spoiler: it saved a local farm $1,000 per rail car, and 200 railcars of oats removed almost 400 truck trips annually, which resulted in fewer GHG emissions. 👇
Tonight the #CNTower will be lit red and white for Crime Stoppers Month / Ce soir la #TourCN sera illuminée en rouge et blanc pour le Mois de l'Échec au Crime
ALL ABOARD - We’re one step closer to bringing back the #Northlander
3 NEW train sets have been purchased to service the North & reconnect Timmins and Toronto, with a connection to Cochrane 🚂🚃🚃
⬆️ Boosts economic growth
⬆️ Strengthens regional development

I was happy to celebrate a big milestone today, which will help bring passenger rail from vision to reality. Thanks for joining us @StanChoMPP@VictorFedeli to showcase the trainsets that will be built to carry passengers to and from northeastern Ontario!
Congratulations to Phil. Playing so many consecutive games in the grueling and demanding sport of hockey is remarkable. He clearly has a passion for and love of his sport. I’m sure that the Golden Knights and the Las Vegas fans celebrated with Phil and his teammates, way to go!
#OTD in 1537 birth of Edward VI, only surviving son of Henry VIII, by his third wife Jane Seymour. Edward is England’s last boy king, coming to the throne aged 9 in 1547. Precocious and full of promise, he died aged 15 on the cusp of power. #royalty#tudor
