Did you know Via Rail has a fleet of British Rail Gauge train cars?

They obtained them from a failed sleeper service through the Chunnel in the 90s. I rode with them on the Montréal to Halifax rail service called The Ocean. Part of a big rail journey I took this summer across eastern Canada and Europe.

There's also a longer video on their channel, I thought that was quite neat.
