Summer on the Ocean
Here's the westbound Ocean departing Halifax yesterday afternoon, July 14/12.
Consist was two F40s + sixteen cars including three coaches, seven sleepers and a Park Car.
Sleeper Plus (Touring) Class is offered during the summer/fall and includes access to the Park Car:

For anyone in the northeast US, wanting to sample VIA and a classic Budd Dome, a trip on the Ocean can easily be accomplished over three or four days or a long weekend.
Adirondack to Montreal, stay overnight then the Ocean to Halifax the following evening. There are numerous non-stop flights from Halifax back to BOS, EWR, LGA, PHL or DCA/IAD
You can even do a roundtrip on the Ocean and connect to the southbound Adirondack the same day but the connection is tight……about an hour at St. Lambert. I would recommend an overnight stay and there's lot's to do.
