Daily train service in Canada. For clarity, the operative word here is DAILY. The lines exist but there is no longer a daily service.

@infobeautiful wow… if they have the rails on the ground, it is pity not to use them as much as possible

@babaq @infobeautiful oh they are used… by freight trains and there’s no law requiring freight to yield so the passenger trains are delayed

i think VIA Rail’s on time performance is like 30%

@babaq the tracks were sold to freight companies a few decades ago so they essentially fully control what runs on them too
