Thanks everyone for 10K views on the video! I'm very busy with university stuff these days. If I manage to squeeze out some time in the future, I'll make another educational video, perhaps about China this time, where I now am.

The funny thing is that the corridor between Toronto and Quebec is the perfect example to build a high-speed line, I hope they build it. Greatings from Spain 👋🇪🇦🇪🇺

I’m a railroad nerd but I also work there so it’s cool seeing all of it first hand.

A really amazing job. I just visited Canadian Railway Museum last Sunday, and will bring some kids in Summer camp to there. I'll also play this video in classroom.

Thanks! I hope your kids at summer camp will enjoy the museum! It's a fun one!

The Via Dayliner on Vancouver Island shut down in 2011 due to the condition of the track. It was promised to be running again in 2015, yet it still isn’t running 8 years later

Another fact about the turbo: on the press run, it struck a meat truck outside Kingston.

Hard to tell if this is the right platform for this. But ill try anyways as this is still considered business. Given the present conditions, is it better to invest into Real Estates or into Stocks? Which would yield better output.

@michaelcollins1220 Жыл бұрын

Has got to be Stocks but of course, you have to be well informed on the right ones or better still, get a pro to handle it for you (that way, you save time and minimise risks). Made my first million this way earlier this year. One more thing, one can wake you up by 2am to complain about a leaking pipe, the other can't.

@eddiejohn8506 Жыл бұрын

Very sound advise! I have been into both for long and though I won't say I have lost a fortune, I have squandered quite alot... If it's not a problem, do you mind recommending the pro you worked with? I could definitely use the help of one right now... I look forward to your reply...

I want to congratulate you on your pronounciation of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu. Having the military base and the military college here, I can attest that it's quite a challenge for anglophones to pronounce the name of our town. Also great video 👍

Awesome documentary! Very professionally done. I just got a question; that video of the CN freight train taken at the beginning with that nice view of the hill in the backdrop and the pond in the foreground, is that park/nature trail just off of Twyn Rivers Drive in Scarborough near the Toronto Zoo?

@FelixAn 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks! Yes, that is Rouge Park, which is the park you are mentioning about. Across from the zoo, you can walk along the long road across the valley, which leads to a scenic railway crossing where you can take pictures of trains.

They just abandoned a railway that ran between Mississauga and Orangeville which are two pretty populated, busy and growing areas so I would say we’re declining
