VIA Rail Canada

Canada’s national passenger rail service. With more than 450 destinations and 410 stations across Canada, our network connects major cities, regions, and many remote communities nationwide. From Québec City to Vancouver, from Halifax to Winnipeg, VIA Rail allows travelers to cross the country safely while enjoying a mode of transportation that is practical, sustainable, accessible, and comfortable. By linking large urban centers with more isolated communities, our rail network plays a key role in both mobility and national unity. VIA Rail Canada is a federal Crown corporation owned by the Government of Canada. Its mandate is to operate a national public passenger rail service, connecting major cities, regions, and certain remote communities across the country. The name “VIA Rail” itself reflects this connection between the rails, Canadians, and their country.
