	VIA Rail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		VIA Rail operates trains in eight Canadian provinces (all provinces except Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island) over a network spanning the country from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the Great Lakes to Hudson Bay.
		VIA also sought to reduce its reliance on 30+ year old second-hand equipment and placed a significant order with Bombardier Transportation for new high-speed locomotives and cars which would be used in its corridor trains.
		While VIA Rail is an independent federal Crown corporation mandated to operate as a business, it is hindered by the fact that it was created by an Order-in-Council of the Privy Council, and not from an actual legislation passed by Parliament.

	Railway Age: VIA's cuts stun Canada - VIA Rail Canada
		Opposition to the expected but undefined cuts was immediate and loud, leading to demonstrations by VIA's labor unions and the formation of action committees among the mayors of most of the cities and towns served by VIA.
		Some of the lines left in the new VIA network, such as the western transcontinental train and the Atlantic, were reportedly only put back into the system - albeit with reduced frequency - the night before Bouchard's announcement because of protests from within the government.
		Rail passenger advocates and coalitions of mayors and provincial premiers are counting on their protests getting VIA back on track, forcing retention of some condemned routes, proper capital funding and a re-examination of the federal government's rail passenger policy.

	VIA Rail Canada's Bras d'Or
		The route of the Bras d'Or has much touristic promise, but VIA has failed (as of the date of our riding) in its effort both to promote the service to tourists and to integrate this train with the remainder of Canada's rail passenger services.
		At a minimum, VIA will need to market the train more broadly, provide more frequent service, increase the station stops to provide service to the local communities it passes through, provide locally and community oriented fare incentives, and rationalize westward connections.
		If VIA doesn't do some or all of these things, this train will be killed as a dreadful money loser with few having had the opportunity to enjoy its gentle grace and splendid panoramas.
