The Alto High Speed Train Would be 'Catastrophic' for Quebec Farmers, Federation Says The proposed high speed rail project between Toronto and Quebec City has been touted as a game changer for commuters.
However, for farmers like Daniel Legault, the benefits of speed are nothing compared to the devastating consequences of having their land sliced through by a train line.
Legault's family has farmed the same land in Rigaud, Quebec, since 1929. The Alto project would not only divide their property but also isolate entire communities along its path.
