I rode that train back in 1989. Went from Halifax to Sydney.Then took a ferry boat from North Sydney to Port Aux Basques Newfoundland. Then retraced my steps and went back to Halifax. Enjoyed the trip very much. Got permission to ride up in front in the control cab of the RDC with the engineer. Was sad to see the train discontinued. Greetings from connecticut.
I used to travel by train, from Toronto to Sydney. Now it only goes as far as Turro. The train always shows up late in Turro, when bus services are no longer running. A cab is expensive, so I no longer go.

They should bring back the classic conductor uniform for Via Rail.
Only spans 8 provinces these days. Those of us in Newfoundland and PEI got ripped off.
The tracks on Newfoundland and PEI were abandoned.

I wonder what happened to that Bernice lady, she's probably passed on by now, you know how dated this is when smoking was still allowed on trains 😂
The last passenger train from Sydney to Halifax stop in 2004
This Video was the Last Passenger Service from Sydney. The Service in 2004 was an Excursion Train...
Stopped
You’re wrong, last train service was Jan 15 1990
I was at university in Antigonish at this time, and we picketed to maintain rail service to Sydney, but to no avail.
