The Ocean is operated by VIA Rail between Montreal, Quebec, and Halifax, Nova Scotia. It is, as of 2007, the oldest continuously-operated named passenger train in North America. The Ocean's schedule takes approximately 21 hours, running overnight in both directions. Together with The Canadian, and VIA's corridor trains, the Ocean provides a transcontinental service.
