Thanks for posting! Your first photo looks like it might be the Susan Anne. The former Prince Nova that sailed with Northumberland Ferries between Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia until 1997. Scroll down here to the second item: CSF | Cross Sound Ferry The Prince Nova (below in 1988) was...

Yes it is. There's four chain or cable ferries in Nova Scotia on the provincial highway system. Here's another at Country Harbour. The cable doesn't impede navigation as it lays on the bottom except when the ferry is approaching the ramp.

Returning home from Cape Breton on Sunday evening....its a straight shot down the Trans Canada Highway but I took the more scenic diversion that included the Little Narrows Ferry. A 2 minute crossing that could easily be replaced by a bridge....... but it's navigable waters and the Coast Guard...

Besides the new hourly service from Hamilton West Harbour Station.....GO is also reintroducing 2 trains to Toronto (dropped during Covid...now 4 in total eachway) departing from the Hamilton GO Centre (1.6 km south) This is the nicely restored former TH&B Station that once had through service to...

Here's a nice video and very positive too for a recent covid coach trip on the Canadian from Vancouver to Winnipeg.

The Stair Access Structure is straddling half a platform now and appears that platform might be doubled in width in the future to also serve the Grimbsy Sub track on the right.

If you looked at an Amtrak Timetable for the Maple Leaf right up until Covid......unless you read the footnotes.....Niagara Falls, St. Catharines, Grimsby, Aldershot, Oakville and Toronto are listed and look just like any other Amtrak stop in the schedule...

That would be an interesting route! After taking your car on Marine Atlantic to Newfoundland...its 1600 miles to Iceland but only 350 miles further would get you direct to Cork, Ireland. Add about 450 miles to those distances if starting from Halifax. Icelandair flew Halifax-Reykjavik right up...

The new Ferry (above post) will have a new concept for sleeping accommodations on Marine Atlantic....'Sleeping Pods' This video shows the Sleeping Pods on similar Stena Line Ferries: Currently on Marine Atlantic night crossings you have the option of a private Cabin or Coach & Business...

Here's Marine Atlantic's new ferry for the Nova Scotia to Newfoundland route due to arrive in 2024. It will carry 1000 passengers and have 2.5 km of lane length (that can accommodate about 450 cars or 90 18-wheelers) There will also be 146 cabins, 40 sleeping pods and a full range of meal and...

@neroden....why the 'Sad' reaction to my post above? Things have been pretty good here in the Maritimes throughout the pandemic and Canada as a whole (per capita) has a bit over a third of the number of Covid cases the US has. So I guess it makes sense we ramp back up here in the Maritimes with...

If GO did become the option for cross-border travel I'm sure accommodations would be provided for luggage. Right now the GO summer service to Niagara has lots of room for bicycles which is very popular on that route. And now with the longer routes to Barrie and Kitchener as well as...

He's basically an essential worker who have never been stopped from crossing the border. But does that allow 'tourist type' activities. Perhaps Seaboard can comment?

I'm sorry. Perhaps you are exempt from quarantine requirements.....but it upsets me that you..... arriving from another country would come on here and flaunt you went railfanning downtown when residents of Toronto are just coming out of a lockdown that's seen at lot of business closed since...

That's the way it is on the Canadian right now also. The Ocean is being run as basic transportation for now but will return to full service as covid restrictions ease. That's when dining will return and hopefully a Skyline is added.

No.....once a week initially beginning on August 11 westbound from Halifax. All passengers are to remain in their sleeper accommodation or coach seats for the duration of the trip. Sleeper meals will be delivered to your room and there is a cart service in coach. As covid restrictions...

Here a link to discussion back in 2015 about rerouting on CP through Thunder Bay between Toronto and Winnipeg but I don't think there was any consideration given to going all the way to Vancouver on CP via Calgary. https://www.amtraktrains.com/threads/changes-coming-for-the-canadian.65178/

Back in the early '60s.....the Continental used CN's secondary route between Saskatoon and Edmonton via North Battleford. The Super Continental stayed on the mainline through Biggar....the same route the Canadian follows today.

This is CN's secondary route across the prairies and was the original Canadian Northern Railway mainline between Winnipeg and Edmonton. VIA's Churchill trains use the eastern end today through Dauphin and Canora. This line continues west through Humbolt, Warman, North Battleford and...
