Looking for individual train cars or standalone locomotives? Check out the VIA Budd Streamliner collection above!

Originally built in the 1950s for Canadian Pacific, these stainless steel cars continue to operate today on Canada’s Passenger Rail Network under VIA Rail on long-distance and rural routes. The fleet includes Coaches, Baggage Cars, Sleeper Cars, Diners, Mid-train "Skyline" dome cars, and Dome-Observation "Park" cars. Today, these cars are hauled by VIA’s F40PH locomotives. Each of these has been recreated within Stormworks and assembled into 4 realistic consists for you to use and explore.

The Canadian is VIA’s Flagship train, running from Vancouver to Toronto over a 4-day route. This is the last regularly operating Streamliner in North America, and has been featured on the Canadian $10 Bill. The train can stretch to over 30 cars during busy seasons!

The Hudson Bay operates from Winnipeg to Churchill in Manitoba, linking tiny communities with no road access. It is a lifeline to the northern communities that it serves.

The Skeena operates a scenic route through the Canadian rocky mountains, providing access to remote cabins and getaways.

Corridor trains operate high-speed, frequent services between Canada’s large cities in Southern Ontario and Quebec. While original Budd equipment is rare, they occasionally make it into service on these short runs.

• 4 Fully assembled consists at 3 terminals to choose from
• Stormlink-Capable (Capacities posted in Vestibules)
• Highly detailed interior and exterior for all cars
• Beautiful views from domes and lounges
• Full kitchen/bar interiors in Diner, Skyline, and Park Cars
• Kitchen and Bar Cabinets hold First Aid Kits to keep Stormlink Passengers satisfied
• Stormlink Passengers loaded in Sleeping Cars automatically restore their satisfaction
• Automatic Lighting
• Additional Manual Light Switch in Electrical Boxes
• Automatic Heating
• Manual Sliding Door on Baggage Car
• Handles in Vestibule to help with boarding. (Folding Steps not modelled for optimisation purposes)
• Digital Speedometer with Changeable Speed Units
• DPU and MU – Capable Locomotive
• First-person Equipment placed throughout the train
• Fully Arctic-Capable

• The Canadian – F40PH Locomotive, Baggage, Coach, Skyline Dome, Diner, Sleeper (x2), Park Dome-Observation – See Physics Lag Warning
• The Hudson Bay – F40PH Locomotive, Baggage, Coach, Skyline Dome, Sleeper, (x2)
• The Skeena – F40PH Locomotive, Baggage, Coach, Park Dome-Observation
• The Corridor – F40PH Locomotive, Coach (x2)

1. Ensure that Infinite Electric is OFF
2. Press and hold Engine Start on back wall until engine is running
3. If using with other locomotives, set the control radio channel using the keypad on the back wall
4. Enable Control Desk switch on control desk of Controlling locomotive (All locomotives with Control Desk switch off will act as DPU locomotives)
5. Select direction of travel with reverser buttons
6. Increase throttle!

While every attempt has been made to optimise these trains, The Canadian still pushes the boundaries of physics and CPU capabilities. On North-South or East-West track in the ocean, The Canadian can achieve 50+ TPS. However, on diagonals or when near terminals this performance can and will degrade to 30 TPS or less (I.E. Slow Motion). In Tunnels, performance decreases further to 10-15 TPS (Extreme Slow Motion). Operating a loaded Canadian through tunnels is NOT recommended.

Also note that a switcher locomotive may be required to disassemble The Canadian, as it may not fully fit all Stormlink terminal stations. It is recommended that you use The Hudson Bay or Skeena for Stormlink, as these trains will give better physics performance. Endo Terminal should also give the best performance for spawning these trains.
