Fleet Replacement Program

VIA Rail is getting a brand new fleet of trains! That’s right, within a few years we will be welcoming passengers onto 32 new trainsets for use in Quebec and Ontario, where we serve over 4.5 million passengers a year. These new trains will replace our aging fleet while offering Canadians more reliable, comfortable and sustainable travel.
What’s more, the new fleet will have a reduced environmental footprint (thanks to some of the most energy-efficient tech around), producing four to five times less pollution than cars or other modes of transportation.
With a scheduled arrival beginning in 2022, it won’t be long before we’re all sitting pretty in our new fleet!




Representing an investment of $989 million, the project will result in 32 new train sets that will provide our passengers with a smoother ride for the next 30+ years.
