====Canada==== {{Main|Rail transport in Canada}} [[File:VIA Rail Train London Ontario.jpg|thumb|A [[Via Rail]] train at [[London station (Ontario)|London station]] in [[London, Ontario]]]] [[Canada]]'s inter-city trains are mostly run by [[Via Rail]], a Canadian [[Crown corporations of Canada|crown corporation]] mandated to operate inter-city passenger rail service in Canada. The majority of its services connect major cities in the most populous part of the country known as the [[Quebec City - Windsor Corridor]], straddling the provinces of [[Ontario]] and [[Quebec]]. It also operates long-distance trains to [[western Canada]] and [[the Maritimes]] on the [[Canadian (train)|Canadian]] and [[Ocean (train)|Ocean]] lines and by smaller trains to more remote areas of Canada. Much like the [[United States]], Canada previously had a larger intercity rail network prior to the 1970s; certain major cities such as [[Calgary]] and [[Regina, Saskatchewan|Regina]] lack connections to the extant Via Rail network, and passenger rail usage outside of the Quebec City - Windsor Corridor is infrequent and geared towards the tourism market. International trains, run jointly by [[Amtrak]] and Via Rail, connect [[New York City]] with [[Maple Leaf (train)|Toronto]]. [[Amtrak]] also operates the [[Adirondack (train)|''Adirondack'']] between New York City and [[Montreal]], and the [[Amtrak Cascades]] service linking Vancouver and [[Seattle]]. In addition, the [[White Pass and Yukon Route]] links [[Skagway, Alaska|Skagway]] and [[Whitehorse]] on an isolated northern route. Other inter-city passenger rail operators include the [[Ontario Northland Railway]], which operates passenger services between [[Cochrane, Ontario|Cochrane]] and [[Moosonee]] in rural [[northern Ontario]] and [[luxury train]] operators such as the [[Royal Canadian Pacific]] and [[Rocky Mountaineer]], which operate rail tours in [[Western Canada]].
