Bombardier of Canada is known throughout the world as a major leader in Aircraft and Transportation. Astonishing comming from Canada they produce the most beautiful of all transportation trains.



Monorails







Light Rail Vechicles




High Speed Trains, and too many more types and styles to mention.

The question is, when do we as Canadians get to enjoy our own product?

When Canadians finally get around to figuring out that rail is a good deal. But till then, we'll spend fortunes trucking cargo around and flying.

Care rules supreme in North America.

In Toronto I have the choice of Go-Transit, max speed of about 110km/h or for longer hauls, ViaRail which go about the same speed and it's more expensive then flying.

Yes! I love the learjets... I've allways dreamed of owning a white Bombardier CRJ-700 Limo Jet.. but that would be ridiculous. :lol:



GOOD NEWS! Bombardier finally made it with the big boys.. The new C-Series.

Bombardier is the World’s No. 1 train maker and No. 3 aerospace company. :canada:











Last year 2009 Bombardier was awarded a $4 Billion dollar purchase for 80 High Speed Trains to China.

This is starting to look like spam to me. Aren't there other manufacturers?

Yes. I'm aware of Bombardiers beginnings, but that was then. I have two uncles who are both 35 year veteran train drivers for CN.

Today, Bombardier is #1 Train Maker in the world!



And Cheers!.. to Bombardier of Canada for the most beautiful trains in the world!

Not all of them are pretty. These ones are a bit fragile and they do not work in any amount of snow. They replaced old stock built in the 60s that were well past their sell by dates but these won't last 40 years.
