VIA Rail Canada Inc.'s new fleet arrived in southwestern Ontario, between London and Windsor, this week.

By summer 2025, the entire Quebec City-Windsor corridor will be served by 32 new trains, VIA Rail officials said in a press release. The new trains will replace the old fleet starting this summer.

"Our teams have been focused on modernizing our operations in the most densely populated region in the country," said Mario Peloquin, VIA Rail's president and chief executive officer. "Our full roster of 32 new trains will be in service by the summer of 2025, which will mark the completion of this project for passenger rail in the corridor."
