The Ocean (French: L'Océan) is a 1346 km passenger route operated by VIA Rail Canada running between Montreal and Halifax, with numerous intermediate stops including Drummondville, Sainte-Foy (near Quebec City), and Moncton. The route connects the provinces of Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia. There are three trips per direction per week. The train takes about 22 hours in each direction, operating day and night. The route is scheduled such that the portion of the route between Sainte-Foy and Campbellton travels during overnight hours in both directions.
The Ocean is the eastern of at least three three train routes needed to cross between Canada's Atlantic and Pacific coasts. See across Canada by train for further information.
