Canada's federal government plans to replace Via Rail's entire fleet of trains, including over 300 train cars and 40 locomotives, with a focus on modernizing, improving comfort and sustainability. The upgrade is expected to be the largest in VIA Rail's history, although the investment does not include funding for track upgrades. The procurement process is set to begin soon, with a focus on replacing the current, 1950s-era fleet before expanding routes.
