The train's westbound trip from Montreal and Toronto to Detroit and Chicago carried the number 19.

[4] During the interwar period the Michigan Central and Canadian Pacific also operated the Dominion-Overseas (1923-1942), which ran during daylight hours between Chicago and Detroit.

The Dominion-Overseas (eastbound as #44-22, westbound as Western Express, #21-23) consist included through coaches and sleepers for the Chicago to Montreal route.

By 1942, the westbound counterpart was no longer the Canadian working alone, but was tacked onto the North Shore Limited in Detroit for completing the trip to Chicago.

[10][6] In 1946 the New York Central would change the name again, this time, for a longer period, to Canadian-Niagara; the train number would switch from 58 to 358.

[11][12][13][14] On February 27th, 1921, the Canadian overran a red signal in Porter, Indiana and derailed off of a Derail near the Interlocking tower, as the New York Central Interstate Express (NYC Train) was approaching the crossing; 37 people were confirmed deceased.
