This project focuses on designing a sustainable, affordable, and efficient high-speed rail system connecting major cities across Ontario and Quebec, including Toronto, Montreal, and Quebec City with a focus on the Economical impacts of such an implementation.
The solution addresses key challenges like reducing traffic congestion, cutting carbon emissions, and boosting regional accessibility and economic growth.
The project incorporates a detailed net value analysis, balancing economic, environmental, and sociological impacts, and emphasizes long-term operational efficiency and stakeholder satisfaction.
Section 1 (London -> Kitchener): Construct new rails for a straight path between the two locations, rails will go over existing highways, proper infrastructure will be added to implement railroad crossing in these sections.
Section 2 (Kitchener -> Toronto): Existing infrastructure for GO Rail will be used to implement high speed rail tracks for train.
Section 3 (Toronto -> Peterborough): Use GO infrastructure to go a bit north in Toronto before switching to Canada Pacific rail infrastructure going fully to location.
Section 4 (Peterborough -> Smiths Falls): Canada Pacific Rail infrastructure can be used until reaching Havelock, from which new rails will be built following alongside highway 7 until reaching Smiths Falls.
Section 5 (Smiths Falls -> Ottawa): Using VIA Infrastructure construct high speed rails that connect to Ottawa.
Section 6 (Ottawa -> Montreal): Construct new infrastructure linking Ottawa and Montreal that goes alongside Highway 417 until reaching around Casselman from which it will go directly straight to Montreal, linking up where EXO, Canada Pacific, and CN Rail meet.
Section 7 (Montreal -> Quebec City): New infrastructure constructed from Montreal direct to Quebec City north of the St Lawrence River. Can utilize portions of the Quebec Gatineau Railway infrastructure.
