This is an excellent idea! We need to break the habit of hopping on a plane for trips where a high-efficiency (run on renewables) train could do the trick. Might take a bit longer, but it’s worth it.
Now, what Canada needs is to switch from subsidizing fossil fuels to promoting electric trains (and public transit) so that everybody can afford them, and use them regularly. And, trips within Canada should cost less to do by train than on an airplane – the opposite of the current status (based on the times that I have checked).
