this is the first i've heard of the expansion to windsor, which may seem superfluous at first - until you realize that it becomes very easy to integrate into detroit, which has amtrak services running to chicago.

would i hop on the train to toronto to see a show? it's about 330 km, according to google. the train will run between 250 km/h to 300 km/h, but it will also need to stop a few times. i could conceivably get to toronto on the train about as quickly as i can get to ferndale on the bus.

i guess the change, for me, would be that it would open up the possibility of going to toronto without having to stay the night. but, i would expect it to be kind of expensive, too.

it's years away, still...
