Episode Details

Via Rail is finally getting a major upgrade with a $5 billion investment to replace over 300 aging passenger cars—those on regional, remote, and long-haul routes—built before color TV existed. For the first time in 40 years, these new trains will be designed, assembled, and maintained right here in Canada, with manufacturing kicking off at Alstom’s Thunder Bay plant. This isn’t just about comfy seats and smoother rides—it’s a game-changer for Canadian infrastructure and manufacturing, bringing jobs home and modernizing a vital part of the nation’s transit system.
