VIA's current train "THe Ocean" uses the Halifax-Quebec-Montreal route along
New Brunswick's North Shore. It has followed this route since 1904. The
other train "The Atlantic" ran from halifax to Moncton, Saint John, then
through Maine to Quebec. That route was cancelled twice by the federal
government, the last time in the cutbacks of 1990, when VIA service was
reduced 50 per cent by then transportation minister Benoit Bouchard.
