Just came back on cptdb trolololol

I heard a few short train horns (sounded like a slow moving train) from my place in south Kanata over the last few hours. Last one was around 1am. I haven't heard any trains along the line in months. Anyone knows what's up with the line at this hour? I did a drive-by of the line/spur in Bells Corners and also noticed that the cars that were sitting there have since been removed. Is this recent? EDIT: Just heard another horn at 2:16am.

Thanks Spot. I just booked my flights the other day and will be flying YOW-YYZ-YQT on AC441 and AC8533. Anyone want to recommend me the best window seats for an A320 (vers. 2) and a CRJ-705? I would love to watch the wings during takeoff/landing or not have my view of the ground disrupted by the wings. I also have two hours to kill in YYZ; anything of particular interest I should check out while I'm there?

That may be, but I cannot make it to YOW for 06:00, nor would it be acceptable for me to arrive at YQT at 23:15. WestJet's scheduling is just out of the question. The info would be greatly appreciated.

AC, Porter and WestJet all have the same base fares when booking in advance. Between the three, AC has the best schedule and only direct flight, not to mention I want to minimize the possibility of my baggage getting lost/damaged.

I'm going to be moving to Thunder Bay this fall and will likely be flying AC Jazz out of YOW. From what I've researched, the direct flight (AC7769) uses CRJ equipment and I've heard that their overhead storage bins aren't quite up to size for standard carry-on cases like the CRAs are (which are flown out of YYZ). Is this true? I'm planning to pack a rolling suitcase to the brim as one of my carry-ons and I don't want to be met with it not fitting. In the case of it not fitting, does Jazz offer some kind of skycheck service?

Then why post at all?

Still doesn't do much for accessing the campground. They're two separate facilities, one beside the other. Access to the equestrian park would be fairly simple from Moodie, sure, but there would be no access to the campground without having to build on the equestrian park's property (not to mention a complete restructuring of the park's land use to build a new accessway). Furthermore, there is a nature trail (with parking) right beside the tracks. Access to that would be completely blocked off. You can reason all you want by looking at maps but converting Corkstown to transitway will not be a viable option. There is too much infrastructure along that stretch that requires the road to be there. Converting a lane in each direction of the 417 will offer the least impact in terms of construction.

Original article: http://www.ottawacitizen.com/news/Transit+...8155/story.html How will anyone access the city's campground, city's equestrian park and the private farm, all located on that stretch? Plus the rail crossing will be a slight hindrance to the overall efficiency of the western leg.

Completely agree. That's one thing I love about the TTC, actually. Of course, it would never fly in this town of self-entitlement. I can hear the cries now, "what, I have to stand?!"

Hm, yes, it's a giant conspiracy to screw people over. That's it...
