From Ottawa, Ontario (OTTW), to Montréal, Québec (MTRL), join Trains.com staffer/frequent rail voyager Kent Johnson for a quick overview of VIA Rail Canada’s all-new Siemens Venture trainset (5-car)! Amidst Business Class amenities from station to station, you’ll get to see the perks of being aboard the quickest and cushiest train on VIA Rail Canada’s Corridor (Québec City, Québec to Windsor, Ontario).

If the numerous creature comforts (Economy and Business classes alike) of a Venture trainset aren’t enough to punch your ticket (or VIA Rail’s updated online booking equivalent), maybe the fuel-sipping specs of the Siemens Charger power will help persuade you to ride too!

Views of the St. Lawrence Lowlands outside the large picture windows of a Siemens Venture trainset sail by at a surprisingly smooth, near 100mph pace. Certainly worthy of a toast (regional Canadian red, of course) to high-speed travel during this January 2024 ride. Kent J. Johnson photo
