HALIFAX: A special open train event was held at Via Rail Halifax on July 15.
It was being put on to celebrate Canada’s oldest passenger rail service with people who came out and registered for the event allowed to tour the rail cars of the Ocean liner.
From its very first journey to today, The Ocean has helped connect generations, communities, and coastlines.
As North America’s oldest continuously operating named passenger trains, it has a story worth celebrating — and Via invited people to be part of it.
