The long-promised book by High-Speed Rail Canada founder Paul Langan, on the history of Bombardier's JetTrain, will now be released on December 2nd, 2024.  What can we learn from the failed attempt to have high-speed trains in Canada and USA in the early 2000's? What has changed and what challenges still remain in 2024? Author Paul Langan, does a historical review of newspaper accounts from that time as well as an interview with Lecia Stewart, who was Bombardier’s Vice-President of High-Speed Rail at the time of the JetTrain project. It will be available worldwide on Amazon.  

High-Speed Rail Canada has added a new video on the 2002 Bombardier JetTrain to their youtube channel. The JetTrain was proposed for different routes in the USA and Canada. Top speed was 240 km/h. Unfortunately, over 20yrs later, Edmonton and Calgary one of the proposed routes still does not have passenger trains. View the video HERE.

We want to say thank you to all the supporters of High Speed Rail Canada. What better way to do it then give you a free slideshow of the historic Bombardier JetTrain. Happy Holidays everyone.

Well for fans of Bombardier's 2002 JetTrain what a day it is. When it was introduced Bombardier had a promo video just under 4 minutes made. When they pulled the plus on the project, the website and video disappeared. We are very very happy to have found it and loaded in on our High Speed Rail Canada Youtube Channel . Enjoy the magic of the JetTrain.
