Take a moment and think this through... that train is moving at a speed that a reasonably in shape person could probably match on a bicycle.
He says once the train gets to Winnipeg they're just going to turn the train around and fly the passengers the rest of the way.

Oh man, I just read his twitter points. I didn't actually believe it, but you're right - they're actually going to fly people from Winnipeg to Toronto. How pathetic for a country who's founding myth involves the glory of a coast to coast rail line.
