Quebec City-Windsor Corridor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The corridor extends from Quebec City, Quebec in the northeast to Windsor, Ontario (immediately south of Detroit) in the southwest, running north of the St. The corridor is the busiest service area for VIA Rail, which runs the majority of Canada's intercity passenger trains on trackage through the corridor, mostly using CN's former Grand Trunk Railway network. The rich soil and the warmer climate mean that the flora and fauna in the corridor are similar to those in the deciduous forests of the eastern United States as far south as Virginia, rather than the evergreen forests that cover most of central Canada up to the Arctic. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Quebec_City-Windsor_Corridor

Trois-Rivières, Quebec - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Lawrence River at the mouth of the Saint-Maurice River in central Quebec, Canada, located in the densely populated Quebec City-Windsor Corridor. On June 8, 1776, it was the theater of the Battle of Trois-Rivières (part of the Invasion of the province of Quebec by Americans) during the American Revolutionary War. It has now relinquished some of its importance to the two major cities of Quebec, the metropolis of Montreal and capital of Quebec City but remains one of the principal medium-sized cities of Quebec, along with Saguenay, Sherbrooke and Gatineau. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Trois-Rivi%e8res,_Quebec

Quebec-Windsor Corridor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Quebec-Windsor Corridor is the most densely populated section of Canada ; the term is particularly used in connection with VIA Rail passenger train services, analogously to Northeast Corridor on Amtrak. Quebec City - Montreal (services to the south shore opposite Quebec City are not considered Corridor trains) As well as the most frequent long-distance train service in Canada, this route is also the fastest, with services operated by Bombardier LRC trains at up to 160 km/h (100 mph). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Quebec-Windsor_Corridor

Encyclopedia: Quebec City The city is served by VIA Rail (Gare du Palais), and is the eastern terminus of the railway's main Quebec City- Windsor corridor. Quebec City was captured by the British in 1629 and held until 1632. In April 2001, Quebec City hosted the Summit of the Americas to discuss the Free Trade Area of the Americas ; it also hosted massive anti-globalization demonstrations, provoked both by the summit and by the decision to wall off a large portion of the historic city with a four-metre-high chain-link fence for the duration. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Quebec-City

Wednesday, April 13, 1994 -- PRIVATE MEMBERS' BUSINESS (048) As I said, the governments of Quebec, Ontario and Canada have embarked on a major study to determine the viability of a high speed rail system in the Quebec City to Windsor corridor. In November 1991 the federal Minister of Transport of the day, along with the ministers of transport from Quebec and Ontario announced a joint study of the feasibility of operating a high-speed train service in the corridor between Quebec City and Windsor where the prospects for viability are surely the highest in Canada. In June, a feasibility study on the construction of high-speed rail lines in the chosen corridor is to be made public by the federal, Quebec and Ontario governments. www.parl.gc.ca /english/hansard/previous/048_94-04-13/048PB1E.html

VIA Rail Canada / Renaissance of Passenger Rail Quebec City - Windsor Corridor: Travellers throughout the corridor will benefit from improved station facilities such as ticketing, consistent signalling, new seating and platform refurbishments. Improvements to increase capacity and service: Major improvements to the Quebec City - Windsor Corridor will include extended passing tracks, sidings, and other measures to reduce speed restrictions and increase track capacity. Toronto - Windsor - Detroit: New equipment and improved infrastructure will allow VIA to add two new train frequencies by 2004, bringing the number of trains per week to 70, and to connect all services directly to the new high-speed Detroit - Chicago corridor currently under development. www.viarail.ca /corporate/en_bkgdr_20001018_investment_plan.html

London London, Ont, the seat of Middlesex County, is centrally located in the southwest peninsula of the province, on the Québec-Windsor corridor midway between Toronto (185 km) and Windsor (190 km). A regional highway node in the 1930s and 1940s, London is now linked by freeways to Windsor and Toronto (highway 401), Sarnia-Port Huron (highway 402) and Hamilton (highway 403). Proximity to these 3 strands of the "NAFTA superhighway" (2 of which - the 401 and 402 - actually pass through London's municipal boundaries) ideally situates the city along the path of this commercial conduit that is estimated to carry 35% of the total trade between Canada and the United States. www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com /PrinterFriendly.cfm?ArticleId=A0004751

High Speed Trains for Canada In Ontario and Quebec, government response to renewed interest in high speed rail and claims of financial self-sufficiency led to the establishment in late 1989 of the Ontario-Quebec Rapid Train Task Force, created to undertake an in-depth assessment of the political, economic, and financial feasibility of high speed rail passenger service in the Quebec-Windsor corridor. Nevertheless, recognizing that many communities within the Corridor would be by-passed in the advent of privately operated high speed trains, VIA could be in the unenviable position of being deprived of its most important source of revenue and left only with the residual, local service function. If governments are to consider improving and operating rail passenger services in the Corridor, then, in spending taxpayer dollars for feasibility studies, there is an obligation to examine the full range of alternatives, including those that may be more affordable for population densities and conditions within the Canadian Corridor. oldfraser.lexi.net /publications/books/essays/chapter3.html   (214 words)

Capital News Online News Airport headaches drive business travellers to trains In Via's Quebec City-Windsor corridor, which includes Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal, the train seems to have grabbed a larger share of this traditional airline clientele. The corridor accounts for 85 per cent of the company's passengers and 70 per cent of its annual revenues of $240.7 million last year. Ultimately, only a more frequent, high-speed train could truly compete with air travel for the business traveller in the corridor. www.carleton.ca /jmc/cnews/28092001/n2.shtml   (214 words)

Railway Technology - Quebec Windsor Corridor Jet Train The testing of a prototype Jet Train on Canada's Quebec-Windsor corridor in mid-2003 is part of a master plan to develop a railway route that serves 60% of the country's population, generates 85% of train operator VIA Rail's ridership and also provides 70% of its income. Income to help meet the cost of recent improvements to the Quebec-Windsor corridor has been partly generated by the activities of five new maintenance depots, which have attracted work from other operators. The rugged landscape of more remote parts of the Quebec-Windsor corridor, as seen here, illustrates why line upgrading is proving such a difficult project. www.railway-technology.com /projects/quebec   (214 words)
