Via Rail Canada
Newest Review: ... A couple of diesel railcar services operate on Victoria and in Northern Ontario. The busiest, fastest and most heavily used ... more  ... business routes are in the 'corridor' between southern Ontario and Québec: trains on this route are the closest equivalent to European intercity trains or Amtrak's north-east corridor, operating fast and comfortable routes between Windsor, Sarnia, Kingston, Toronto, Ottawa, Montréal and Québec City. Eastern services are limited to the 'Chaleur' (Montréal-Gaspé) and 'Ocean' (Montréal-Halifax), which like western trains are targeted more towards tourists.

Oh and just for reference its pronounced vee-a WHAT IS VIA? Via Rail is Canada's national passenger train company. It runs trains through most of Canada's regions except Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island and Labrador. FARES AND SERVICES: There are two classes on Via trains, Comfort Class ...
