Going to drop this link in here because there is no general rail transport thread. Amtrack is proposing a Chicago > Detroit > Windsor > London > Brantford > Toronto (lots of other cities, but these are the most significant ones) rail corridor. I think it would make more sense to - after going through London - to go up to St. Mary's, Stratford, Waterloo Region, Guelph, Brampton, Mississauga and Terminate in Toronto. We're a much more relevant city that London or Brantford. Both options would utilize CN tracks, but I guess going north east out of London would add...probably another hour to an estimated 10+ hour trip.
I highly doubt either routes would happen because of the glacial pace we give to passenger rail transportation, but it would be great to get as far as Chicago on a train from Waterloo Region. Would be nice if we invested in high speed rail! Sadly, I'd be more likely to win 10 trillion dollars in the lottery than that ever happening in my lifetime.
