In related railway news, does anyone want to go splits on a used trainset to do a proof of concept of more frequent east-west train service in Waterloo Region (and possibly to Guelph and/or Stratford)? The City of Ottawa no longer needs their Bombardier Talent trains.
For years now, I've wondered about the feasibility of working with the railway companies that use the CN line through Kitchener to add a short rail service that runs between New Hamburg and Breslau and points in between. A sample route might be:
- New Hamburg
- Baden
- (Petersburg)
- West Kitchener (ie around the Boardwalk)
- King St/Victoria
- (Bingeman's/River Road)
- Breslau
- And return
To keep things simple and to avoid the need to cross Regional boundaries, the service would be limited to stops in Waterloo Region. If the service became popular, it might even stretch west to Stratford and east to Guelph.
