Talking about freight on the island corridor isn't as sexy as talking about modern passenger trains, but it should be!

The capability already exists on the island through the contracted operator, Southern Rail of Vancouver Island.

Langford to View Royal in 10 minutes

Vancouver Island Mayors and dignitaries travelled from View Royal to Langford in 10 minutes going 10-15km / hour.

Now imagine going much faster on New tracks, riding a Modern Regional Electric Train with accessible level boarding platforms.

I've never seen the Vancouver Island Rail Corridor wiki page get updated as much as it has this last year as contractors and consultants are hired to help create a vision for the corridor! Let's hope for good outcomes!
