The green sleeper cars upfront were built to fit the tiny british clearing diagram. They were intended to connect english cities with continental europe. But the concept was dumped before the coaches were shipped across the ocean.

@serac Right? It's a real shame.

I'm looking forward to when they have dedicated tracks with the new ALTO train service. But it's years and years away.

@serac You might want to drink once you get past Moncton. The tracks are in such bad repair the train crawls along at like 40 km/h.

Weeeeeee.

I still enjoy it though :)

Enjoy the trip! These trainsets are in the process have having their replacements sourced... most of these cars are from the UK's failed Nightstar service built in the 90s by Metro-Cammell.

Gotcha. We had dinner on that part. The good thing about the slow speed was that we were able to spot a moose cow!
Show threadjavensbukanMay 16

@serac If you'd like a interesting read, lookup who that ferry is named after! Viola Desmond.

She's also on our $10 bill! (and so is this city).

Oh, interesting! I've never heard of her before. If anything we get educated about Martin Luther King, but that's about it.

I have not. Will they show this as a "safety on board" video on the train, maybe?

@serac Only if you booked "inspection car" class. It's drafty, but the views are excellent.
