Canada's 'Railway City' wants passenger trains back. Like much of the country, it's not so simple

In St. Thomas, Ontario, a community fondly known as 'Railway City,' there's a renewed push to revive passenger rail services, highlighting a broader national effort to expand passenger trains after years of decline. This initiative comes as Canada invests billions to modernize its rail network, which has struggled with outdated tracks and freight-focused infrastructure. Despite the government's ambitious plans, the challenge for places like St. Thomas is adapting to a railway system vastly different from the one it once had, raising questions about the feasibility and implications of such a revival.
