The perspective of the video cover photo is all wrong. No train climbs out of water like that.

Dipping in a few places, there are lots and lots of badly out of focus shots of dinner tables and indecipherable but dull scenery like rail yards whizzing by.

I appreciate you looking at the VIA rail train, but I'm sorry I don't have time to watch it, based on the first couple of minutes and the skim. Sorry, but I'm very disappointed and think you can do a lot better.
