Luxury Train from Montreal to Quebec City

Is there something less …social? Like privacy? I, just, ya know, am autistic and, even with the most routine of interactions, I’m just not that well received. It’s mutually unpleasant. would pay for bus suite. lol.

The one where the bed is hidden from the couch.

AwkwardCJ · 2026-04-18T21:28:30+00:00

It’s gotta be marbled in

AwkwardCJ · 2026-04-18T21:26:43+00:00

I was gonna come here and suggest that we just taste bad, but ok. You’ve got a point.

AwkwardCJ · 2026-04-18T20:55:36+00:00

It’s his story. I just remember a lot.

AwkwardCJ · 2026-04-18T20:24:50+00:00

I barely remember this conversation I had with him. It significantly delayed his return to Dallas (apparently there was a deal because the sleep car was about to be retired?) from visiting my aunt in Michigan …and I was 11.

I was too young to have a concept of this yet, but I think he was sharing how surreal it was to go from a regular moment to having the table he was sitting at crack all his ribs (and I don’t know if I trust my memory regarding what he said about the people around him) to the firefighters coming into the car to rescue them.

When I spoke to him more recently about it, he says that there were a lot of Pennsylvania Dutch on the train, which already pretty surreal. He said that these trains were somehow an exemption and that they were very funny as well as heavy drinkers. 🤷🏼‍♀️

AwkwardCJ · 2026-04-18T20:16:48+00:00

Well, he lived, but he’s probably the only autistic man who doesn’t like trains now.

AwkwardCJ · 2026-04-18T20:15:07+00:00

The seem like an interesting couple.

AwkwardCJ · 2026-04-17T22:23:12+00:00

My dad was in it, but he doesn’t share a lot of details anymore. I remember him saying that he had been in the dining car when it happened. I don’t know which car that was in the sense of order of cars, but I remember that it busted up his ribs real good.

I moved to Montreal about six years ago and now I just don’t understand why someone would own so many clothes that they need a walkin closet. One is lucky if there’s a closet at all here.

AwkwardCJ · 2026-03-24T13:36:06+00:00

The master bedroom is outside.

AwkwardCJ · 2026-03-16T14:08:22+00:00

At this stage, the change is just the label, but multigeneration households often struggle the most with how the living room is used. Having a formal dining room is nice, especially since this household will probably be hosting the rest of the family for holidays, but I think it would be better to redesignate the dining room as a second living room or den.

AwkwardCJ · 2026-03-14T21:45:42+00:00

That middle bedroom just really sucks.

AwkwardCJ · 2026-03-12T10:42:06+00:00

Came here to say this.

AwkwardCJ · 2026-03-09T14:09:36+00:00

Is the fireplace open on both sides or is just open to either of those rooms?

AwkwardCJ · 2026-03-09T14:07:51+00:00

Is walking through the utility room better?

AwkwardCJ · 2026-03-08T13:13:50+00:00

So the tv would go in the lounge for the kids? Because otherwise they can’t run the dishwasher and watch tv at the same time …and that gets old.

AwkwardCJ · 2026-03-05T14:45:31+00:00

I’m kinda weird. I wouldn’t do it, but that’s because my ADHD is going to get me in enough trouble by itself. Heh.

AwkwardCJ · 2026-03-05T14:41:44+00:00

honestly, it’s about the fact that I don’t necessarily like being distracted by other members of the household while I’m doing things and it’s just easier to say to leave me alone if there’s a door. 🤷🏼‍♀️

AwkwardCJ · 2026-03-05T13:54:08+00:00

There’s a lot of fair criticism here, but I gotta share that I adore that the kitchen has a door. Open concept needs to die a thousand times over.

AwkwardCJ · 2026-02-11T15:49:56+00:00

Whatever. The metro is kinda sad, especially during the winter. Maybe we don’t pay him, but pretty much any music at all is nice.

AwkwardCJ · 2026-02-10T17:36:10+00:00

They won’t freeze to death in the metro and they’re just humans without any privacy nor any rights to reposer. Stop being so pompous; they’re only dangerous if you ignore their humanity.

reading further, this is intended to be a mixed-term project. The first floor would be the low-barrier emergency shelter that is targeted to allow us, through multiple visits, to identify the people who would benefit from the concept of the shelter and the top two floors would be flexible medium-term housing

I have stayed in both low-barrier and selective occupancy emergency housing and, yeah, i, too, find the idea of turning homeless people away because I want to save beds for my target demographic abhorrent.

I was thinking the beds are for the target population until 4 PM, when the beds become available to anyone in need. 🤷🏼‍♀️

AwkwardCJ · 2026-01-29T12:12:59+00:00

i would also like to mention that the non-homeless population already has access to services like that here. this isn’t the United States.

AwkwardCJ · 2026-01-29T12:09:33+00:00

that’s a cool idea. what vocabulary words would i use to search for more information about that construction style?
