MONTREAL TRAIN TRIPS
ABOUT Montreal Train Trips
The buzz of activity in Montreal's Gare Centrale train station is an exciting start to many Canadian rail adventures. Travellers stock up on French breads and cheeses from the surrounding markets or relax in the upstairs Fairmont Hotel until it is time to check in. Overnight train travellers set off on VIA Rail's Ocean train bound for New Brunswick and the Atlantic province of Nova Scotia. Embrace the comforts of your private cabin or venture through the train cars where you could meet onboard musicians playing a fiddle or tapping their spoons. The journey is approximately 24 hours, but still unites the French Canadian culture and the Maritimes culture across the 1300 km/800 miles of track. The second rail option while in Montreal, is with the Corridor service, uniting Ontario and Quebec with business and economy class options. In addition to seeing the train pull out of city centers and into lands developed for farming and industry, the people watching is fascinating. Locals and travellers of all types, whisk from one world to another, enjoying a glass of wine and a hot meal along the way.
