Via rail is taking forever to put these trains on every route. I’m pretty sure they said they want to have all 32 trains in service by 2025. Only 6 months left and they’re only on Quebec City-Windsor, Toronto to Ottawa and one other route ( i know for sure QC-Windsor and Toronto to Ottawa). I’m still waiting for them to put a train on the Windsor Toronto route. I’m in a wheelchair and hate having to guess if the train I want to take is gonna fit my wheelchair. I’m happy people with disabilities are able to book online now but now I won’t know if my chair will fit on the train until I actually try to get on since every train has different door widths on the route. The new trains look so much better for accessibility. They got a ramp built into the trains, the door lengths are the same on every train, the bathrooms can fit a wheelchair with lots of room, they seem perfect for someone with a physical or any type of disability but I don’t know when they will be in service in the Windsor Toronto route. Even via doesn’t know
Mind you: Siemens is talking a long tome as there are multiple orders by many different passenger train companies. So it's kind of out of VIAs control I also want a train to appear west of Toronto as well that isn't a test train.
@@GamingRailfanner The mandate says that class I passenger services must equip locomotives with a two-mode horn, or two separate horns. One of which would be the primary, and the other would be the emergency horn. The mandate doesn't explicitly say that the K5CA is a required horn, it's just simply compliant with the mandate.
