A Maritime Train Odyssey on VIA Rail's Ocean (Montreal to Halifax in a Sleeping Berth)

My full-length documentary on "The Ocean" - VIA Rail's Eastern Transcontinental passenger train which runs from Montreal to Halifax.

Recorded during our scenic land cruise across Eastern Canada to the Maritimes in Sept of 2025 and showcasing the picturesque landscapes, and world class service & accommodations to be found aboard VIA Rail Canada's premier Eastern long distance-passenger train.

This video also includes the connecting train from Aldershot to Toronto To Montreal.

The perspective of the video cover photo is all wrong. No train climbs out of water like that.

Dipping in a few places, there are lots and lots of badly out of focus shots of dinner tables and indecipherable but dull scenery like rail yards whizzing by.

I appreciate you looking at the VIA rail train, but I'm sorry I don't have time to watch it, based on the first couple of minutes and the skim. Sorry, but I'm very disappointed and think you can do a lot better.
