As Canada’s national rail passenger service, VIA Rail provides safe, efficient and economical passenger transportation service. VIA Rail operates inter-city, regional and transcontinental trains that connect over 400 communities across Canada, and about 180 more communities through inter-modal partnerships.
Toronto – Vancouver (the Canadian)
Experience Canada as you’re never seen it before from Canada’s best window. Leave the city behind and glide past prairie fields, rugged lake country, picturesque towns, and the snowy peaks of the majestic Rocky Mountains. The adventure begins the moment you step on board.
Montréal – Halifax (the Ocean)
Departing from Montréal just as dusk falls, the Ocean passes the Montérégie hills and the distant lights of small towns on its journey east. As dawn breaks, the train travels the coast of the Baie-des-Chaleurs on its way to Moncton. The rest of the journey offers the best window on Eastern Canada, all the way to Halifax.
