Author and High Speed Rail Canada Founder Paul Langan Releases Definitive Book on Bombardier's JetTrain

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CAMBRIDGE, ONTARIO - December 18, 2024 - Paul Langan, founder of High Speed Rail Canada and prolific author, has published a comprehensive 112-page book detailing the rise and fall of Bombardier's innovative JetTrain locomotive.

Key Highlights

• Explores the JetTrain's potential to revolutionize passenger rail in North America
• Reveals how political challenges derailed the project by 2005
• Features an exclusive interview with Lecia Stewart, former Bombardier Vice-President of High-Speed Rail

In 2002, Bombardier introduced the JetTrain, a groundbreaking locomotive capable of reaching speeds up to 240 km/h on existing tracks. Despite an extensive promotional campaign across Canada and the United States, the project was discontinued by 2005.

Langan's book provides an unprecedented look into the project's history, offering insights into the political dynamics that ultimately prevented the JetTrain from transforming North American rail transportation.

"It is so important that we learn lessons from our past failed attempts at high-speed rail as we move forward with a new plan for high-speed rail between Ontario and Quebec," said Langan.

The book includes a rare interview with Lecia Stewart, providing unique insider perspectives on the JetTrain project.

Availability

The book is now available worldwide through Amazon in paperback format.
