Eastern Canada Regionals 2007 DVD

This program shows many of the trains and operations on four regional railroads in eastern Ontario and western Quebec – The Ottawa Valley Railway, Quebec Gatineau, Montreal, Maine, and Atlantic, and last but not least, Ontario Northland, in the fall of 2007. The first three of these were spun-off by the Canadian Pacific in the mid 1990s. Ontario Northland has always been an independent regional railroad and was built and owned by the Province of Ontario from the beginning. With its remote services and friendly employees, the nearly 700 mile long ONR is arguably the most fascinating regional Railroad in North America. “Eastern Canada Regionals 2007” is 106 minutes long.  The DVD on this program has the option of being watched with or without narration.

Canada's Corridor in Eastern Ontario DVD

This powerful program shows all the action on the busiest rail line in eastern Canada - the Canadian National and Via Rail Corridor between Montreal and Toronto. This line, known in Canada simply as the Corridor and owned by CN, is at least two tracks with CTC throughout and currently hosts twenty Via passenger trains on weekdays along with at least twenty CN freight trains. And these are not just any freight trains. CN is the most efficient railroad in North America and runs some of the longest and heaviest mixed carload and intermodal trains on the planet on this high-speed and superbly engineered 334-mile line between Montreal and Toronto. We caught over twenty-four hours of action in September 2007 on the Corridor around Gananoque in southeast Ontario where the limit for passenger trains with LRC cars is a cool 100 miles an hour.  Length = 78 minutes.  This program in DVD has the option of being watched with or without narration.

Canadian Pacific’s main line between Montreal and Toronto is their busiest line for freight traffic in eastern Canada. Just west of Perth, Ontario, CP’s Montreal to Toronto main runs through the southern end of the rocky Canadian Shield. In 1996 CP started new piggyback trains between Montreal and Toronto that they initially named Iron Highway trains. The moniker for these trains was later changed to Expressway trains when new flat cars were received. Thus a fitting name for CP’s Montreal to Toronto main is their Expressway. “CP’s Expressway in Eastern Ontario” shows over 32 hours of continuous action on the most scenic part of CP’s Montreal to Toronto Belleville Sub main west of Perth in October of 2007.  Length = 58 minutes.  The DVD on this program has the option of being watched with or without narration.
