MONTREAL — VIA Rail Canada further increased service in its Windsor, Ont.-Quebec City corridor as of Monday, Aug. 30, bringing corridor service close to 100% of pre-pandemic levels. The schedule restorations mean VIA’s British-built Renaissance trainsets are back in operation in Ottawa-Quebec City service for the first time in a year and half, as seen by Quebec City-Ottawa train No. 37, with an F40 and seven Renaissance cars, on Monday. — Michael Berry
