Perhaps 45 km away.<br /><br /> Whistler is about triple that distance and through mountains to boot.<br /><br /> Canada lacks high speed trains but our population and density make it too expensive to serve our major centers.<br /><br /> The distance between London and Paris is less than that between Toronto and Montreal. The two cities urban population is probably similar to that of all of Canada.<br /><br /> I do not know if it is viable to run a high speed train between TO and Mon. but I would think that would be the limit.<br /><br /> The first order of business is to get the cities up to standards.
