A Ride On VIA Rail's New Siemens Charger Trainset

[@Matt-jc8rq]

I wish they would have added mood lighting to the cabin for night time or low lighting situations. It would have made for a nice touch.

The Via train looks so cool

[@trainglen22]

I am impressed. Can't wait to take the new train.

This is very beautiful video 📷📸📷📸

I cannot *wait* for these to be added to the Maritime line! In twenty years. At least. And still have to go 50 along half of the New Brunswick portion.

Why do some people say that these are different from the ones that Amtrak and Brightline got? They look the same with slightly different colors.

[@andrewreynolds4949]

I must have missed the news that these were put into service

[@CreatorPolar]

The first ever run of them was in November last year (went under the radar) and then idk when but they started running them on tuesdays between Montreal and Ottawa

[@RUDY-COLEMAN]

Wow so cool dude

[@pauldevey8628]

Great video

[@nonstoptrainnick]

On what day do they run, the new trains and what is the number of that train example: number 26 toward quebec?

[@TechnicaProductions]

It's only out on Tuesday on 33 and 26

[@nonstoptrainnick]

@@TechnicaProductions Ok, Thanks!!

[@mister33j]

it's slowly turning to the east

[@Chimpur]

Are these new trains in just that one section of service or are they elsewhere as well?

[@TechnicaProductions]

Just the Ottawa-Montreal section once a week for now

[@zacharyemura608]

[@zacharyemura608]

@@TechnicaProductions that's a shame, I'm travelling on the 51 on Tuesday :(

[@PlanetLinuxChannel]

As I believe they ordered something like 32 sets, they’ll certainly be running them more frequently in the near future. Also between Toronto-Ottawa (and while I doubt it, but if I’m lucky, between Toronto-Windsor as well).

Sounds like you were sitting above a wheel with a flat spot.

[@Nazkull]

Are those new trains faster than the old trains ?

[@andrewreynolds4949]

In theory, the new sets may be slightly faster than the oldest of VIA’s equipment, but in practice I believe all can run at higher speeds than the corridor allows. The main “speed” benefit of the new sets is turnaround time at termini, as they have a controlling cab at both ends.
