VIA Rail in New Brunswick
VIA Rail runs through the northern portion of New Brunswick, from
Montreal to Campbellton to
Moncton
and on to Halifax, Nova Scotia.
The train used is the Ocean, the longest-running
named passenger train on the continent. The Ocean celebrated its 100th anniversary in
2004. The Ocean runs six days a week, departing every day except Tuesday. On Tuesdays the eastbound
train passes through New Brunswick in the morning, but there is no westbound train.
On Wednesdays the westbound train goes through in the afternoon/evening, but there is no eastbound.

Ocean through Rogersville toward
Moncton.

VIA used to run the Atlantic
on Canadian Pacific trackage through the southern portion of the province
(McAdam,
Fredericton Junction,
Saint John, Moncton, and on to Halifax)
The Fredericton Junction station is now owned by
the NB Southern Railroad, and the Saint John station is
a hockey building next to Harbour Station.

Hi PJ, thanks for your comments.
I think you are looking for Frank Jolin who is an excellent photographer
but he's not me. This is Steve Boyko's web site.
It is never scary for me to take train photos. I do not take risks when I
take the photos. What might seem too close is only the zoom on the
camera.

Hello Frank,
I have enjoyed your train pictures. Your angles are incredible.. It must
be scarey at times to take some of those shots?!
I an not an avid "train buff" but have several friends who are, so I
shall send your links out to them so they may also enjoy your works.
I have one more question if you please. May I ask if you are from Canada
or from "the states"? I am also a Jolin. My Grandfather was a Jolin and one
of his forefathers was a "train man". My Grandfather was born in Maine as
far as we know but his father, Theodul Isaie Jolin was from Quebec. Theodul
married to a Lacroix who was aboriginal (as far as we know), in Biddeford,
Maine in 1903.
I have been to Lac Saguay area many years ago, where my relatives now
still live there. Would you know which Jolin line you are from? I would
like to make more contact with the Jolin side of my family. Thanks so much
for your time and "keep on truckin" with your digi camera.. Your are very
talented..and found your niche'.
Thanks once again. PJ
