This year I pledged to ride every passenger train in Canada, from the White Pass & Yukon out of Carcross to The Ocean, calling at Halifax. I'm about 60% of the way there! But the research money is about to run out. A thread on how you can help me reach the end of steel 🧵🚆

Why do it? I'm writing a book for House of Anansi, tentatively subtitled "Twelve Trains that Explain Canada." The more I ride, the more I see how railways shaped this country: its frontiers, its art, its character, and lately, the survival of remote First Nations communities.

So here's my ask: if 100 readers become paid subscribers to my newsletter, High Speed, I figure I can get to the end of steel. Details here 👇 www.highspeed.blog/i-need-your-...

Done! ✅

the north country trains youtube channel did a video on the Tshiuetin to Schefferville. That looks like a great trip.
