Via Rail Canada

Via Rail. You will find a superb pan-Canada network of trains called VIA Rail running throughout Canada. VIA is Canada’s passenger train network. It has been customised to make your holiday so much more than just a travelling experience. Imagine a sleek silver-sided train that snakes its way across 4,000 miles, four different time zones and
centuries of history.

The only thing more magnificent than the service will be the views that greet you every time you look out of your expansive picture window. VIA Rail will get you there in comfort and style and in most cases downtown to downtown.
