What is Via Train?
1.
Via (aka: Via Rail Canada), is Canada's national passenger rail service, formed in 1976 from the combined networks of CN and CP Rail. Responsible for intercity railway service. Runs the famous Canadian to Vancouver BC, the Ocean to Halifax and many trains in the Windsor-Quebec City corridor. Government run Crown Corporaton of the Canadian Government. Famous for the LRC trainsets, RDC's (rail diesel cars--Budd cars) running out of Victoria BC, and extensive use of the "Turbo" train in the 70's to mid 80's
I took the Via train to Toronto. (As opposed to the GO train, which I took once in the Greater Toronto area.)
