Victoria–Courtenay train
The Victoria–Courtenay train (formerly the ''Malahat''), commonly known as the ''Dayliner'', is a passenger train service operated by Via Rail between Victoria, Nanaimo, and Courtenay on a rail line owned by the Island Corridor Foundation who also contracts out freight operations to the Southern Railway of Vancouver Island (formerly known as the Esquimalt & Nanaimo Railway). Service is indefinitely suspended pending repairs of the track – service had been projected to resume in 2015, however repairs to the track had not commenced.
==History==
The train was formerly operated with one or two Budd Rail Diesel Cars.〔 Via Rail began operating the passenger train in 1979.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Chronological City History )〕 Although the service had been threatened with discontinuation several times, it was suspended indefinitely on March 19, 2011, due to track replacement work. Prior to further inspection of the track, service along the segment between Nanaimo and Victoria was originally planned to resume on April 8, but lack of funding prevented any of the work from taking place leaving the service out of operation for three years. A temporary bus replacement was brought in for the service after the closure, but dropping passenger numbers of less than ten per day caused the service to be discontinued on August 7. On May 10, nearly two months after suspension, the old Budd cars were moved from the roundhouse in Victoria to a secure yard in Nanaimo, in future hopes of starting commuter service from there. On November 5, they were taken off the island to be returned to central Canada; they will be replaced by a new three-car train stock if service resumes. However, in February 2012, the stretch of track from Esquimalt Station to downtown Victoria was torn up due to bridge conditions of the Johnson Street Bridge. The bridge is planned to be replaced by a new, wider bridge which will not have enough room to place rails along the side of the road again, and therefore Esquimalt Station is now the end of the line.
In July 2014, following successful securing of funds from the local, federal and provincial governments to replace trackage and repair bridges along the line, Via Rail reached an agreement with Southern Railway of Vancouver Island and the Island Corridor Foundation to resume island passenger rail operations. Service between Victoria and Nanaimo was expected to resume in May 2015 with service between Nanaimo and Courtenay beginning later in summer 2015. But, repairs to the track had not commenced, and there was no schedule for resumption of passenger (or freight) service on the line.〔
