- VIA Rail Canada’s new Siemens Charger locomotive and Venture coaches undergo their first test through the Oakville VIA/GO Station on April 13th, 2022 around 7:00 PM. This test train continued westbound to London, Ontario. These new trains are expected to enter service before the end of 2022.

Love hearing the onboard announcements as the train pulls away!
Looks like a very modern and cleaner train like more eco friendly
It's still a diesel lol
@@Bishounen Still better. More fuel efficent and plus now we won't see sandwich formations which pollute more that a single loco
Although the locomotive is very modern and meets tier 4 emissions standards, it is not very reliable to say the least. The passenger coaches are very nice as well.
@@MichaelN12 what does tier 4 mean?? I don’t understand
@@transittown7891 its a tier of how emmisions free it is if its tier 1 then it pollutes insane
Cool. These things really are basically Railjet trainsets specced for North America. Great choice for an intercity train.
What a beautiful set! Can't wait to see it in person!
I hope this train will be at least a little bit faster ! Commuting from Montreal to Toronto is very long :S 5 hours !
No speed increase due to the poor railway infrastructure
@@imagina_b6995 damn
I believe some infrastructure upgrades will see modest speed increases (top speeds increasing from 150km/h to 160km/h) but these new trains are capable of 200km/h (125mph) so hopefully there will be further infrastructure enhancements in future to allow the new trains to reach their full potential.
Start Electrifying and modernizing rail roads tracks and Rail system in Ontario and Canada , they should started at least 50 years ago!
Who's gonna pay for it bud? You?
@@blitzkrieg634 , what needs to be done needs to be done , it is about moving nation to next level and of course environmental impact while using outdated technology!
Money should not be the factor ever in something that is vital for humanity well being!
Money and financial system went totally of from original idea what is purpose for.
@@blitzkrieg634 High-Speed Rail from Toronto to Quebec City will do wonders for our Economy, doesn't matter if we shell out a few billion, the investment would easily be worth it.
@@Nabee_H Err ... it's so-called "high-frequency rail" that's on tap which is not the same thing at all. BTW the Prez & CEO of VIA Rail quit her job last month

30%-40% of the population don't think that way and keep voting certain governments in that don't follow science. For example, in Ontario one of the first things that the Ford government did when it was first elected was to cancel renewable energy contracts, including one with a company that was currently assembling the wind turbines. Now, because of their actions and the previous government have done nothing to replace the nuclear reactors that are coming to the end of their lifetime Ontario will be turning to gas powered electricity generation and increasing our CO2 emissions. Almost everyone wants to build new infrastructure for power and heat that we need but almost nobody things about reducing demand, which could provide a decent reduction in emissions, provide jobs, and improve the living conditions for many people. (Just turning up the heat because energy prices are lower again doesn't stop air leaks and drafts in homes, for example.)
Sorry for the rant, I agree with most of what you have to say except for money and financial systems went totally off from their original idea. Money and financial systems are neutral. They don't have any intentions for good or bad, the same as political systems, how people vote, or even the scientific process. All of these things may be used for good or bad by the people utilizing them. Every system needs checks and balances to prevent people with ill intentions from causing harm. But if harm comes it is the person using the system that is the problem, not necessarily the system itself.
Awesome catch
Very quiet for a diesel! Gorgeous locomotive!
Now we need good tracks
Pretty cool video. Nice catch and you have my sub :)
These things get transported by the Union Pacific and I got to see one on April 15th 2024 in my Illinois town
Great footage.
nice train via rail canada
Awesome catch 😊👍
Nice video like and subscribed from Czech Republic 🙂👍👍👍👍🔔🇨🇿🇪🇺
Beautiful video friend ❤️
Great catch!!
We finally get our own Brightline. Which really isn't saying much but it's something.
Very nice.
Beautiful
These are great sets. Good to see something from this decade running. Meanwhile, in BC, they're buffering the front and rear of THE (only) train so that when it has an accident, the empty cars at the front and rear will be crushed.That's because they're too old and unsafe, and upgrades aren't a thing in the west. It rarely runs on time, is outrageously expensive, way slower than driving, and the schedule makes it virtually unusable. An embarrassment. Estonia has better service than we do, and they're (actually) building high speed trains as well.
Definitely better for their environment
The use of the cowbell is such an ancient dinosaur relic method. Only second rate north American railways still use them
Fr. Every railway and metro nowadays uses much more pleasant sounds and beeps then the constant clanging of the bell
Looks amazing
will this go through the oakville sub again? these trains are insane
wow！I hope I could need the new fleet one day.
Oh god if the alc42 isn't designed for American conditions I wonder what these will be like
They still have reporting marks of SIIX (Siemens Industry Inc).
Nice, did this go to Windsor?
LEZGO!!!! >:D
Still no high speed train in Canada? I don’t get it. Is it to protect Air Canada or WestJet? Imagine spending only 2h between Toronto and Montreal in the train, this will be a game changer
The rails is still bullshit thats why they still got aint high speeds
Via Rail 😍 I make videos on traina too but mostly Metrolinx (GO trains)
If only Amtrak decided to go with a better nose for their Charger varients (SC-44 and ALC-42). Why does it seem that Amtrak always goes with the ugliest options?
I like the Amtrak versions too. I like variety.
@@alexverdigris9939 same alc 42 looks the best
What do the new first class cars look like? or are there any?
Hello!
No options for bicycle service. Yep still need a automobile.
Bring it to the west
Why the hell does it take so long for a new train to test CANT IT JUST ENTER SERVICE
One word and an acronym: Ottawa LRT.
When r they gonna be put in use ?
End of 2022
To much testing going on, we need to get them on tracks and let passengers board them.
I hope that was sarcasm. If not, just look at the LRT in Ottawa for what happens if you don't do enough testing before putting a train system into production without enough testing.
Would you take full responsibility if something went wrong?
That's a very poor looking snowplow on the front of the engine. Looking like a last minute add on.
It looks very similar to the one on the Vectron series in northern Europe. And they work just fine in winter conditions in Norway.
I cannot stand the 3 front headlights..
This is a Canadian train so like, I think that 3rd light Is a requirement for most Canadian passenger locomotives, (as far as I know anyway). Hell, even Via Rails F40s and P42s have 3 lights as well
SO inferior to the European TGV.
It is the same cars as the ÖBB Railjet, but with a diesel locomotive instead of a Taurus.
