Rapido (train)

Rapido was the brand name for the Canadian National's express passenger train service in the Quebec City–Windsor Corridor.

[3] In addition to being branded as Rapido, each express train was also given a name related to the route's particular geographical or historical context.

Piano-based entertainment and alcoholic beverages were offered in these specially outfitted cars which were lit with red bulbs which were meant to create a party atmosphere on the trip between Toronto, Kingston, and Montreal.

The Rapido brand name continued to be used for advertising material and timetables by Via Rail into the 1980s.

By the end of the 1980s, Via Rail began to increasingly refer to the Corridor for branding all passenger trains operating from Quebec City–Windsor, regardless of speed or class of service.
