1981-1985 Service Resumption
In 1978, CP passenger service was transferred to Via Rail and in 1981, Via Rail cancelled the Atlantic service on CP's Saint John-Montreal main line. In its place, Via Rail implemented a daily RDC Dayliner from Fredericton to Halifax via Saint John and Moncton. This required significant track upgrades to the CP Fredericton Subdivision as well as re-opening the York Street Railway Station for passenger use by Via Rail. The resumption of the Atlantic service in 1985 saw the RDC Dayliner service from Halifax-Fredericton cancelled and the York Street Railway Station once again returned to office space for CP Rail freight employees. In 1988, all CP Rail operations east of Montreal were grouped under a new business unit called the Canadian Atlantic Railway.

Famous quotes containing the words service and/or resumption:
“The ruin of the human heart is self-interest, which the American merchant calls self-service. We have become a self- service populace, and all our specious comforts—the automatic elevator, the escalator, the cafeteria—are depriving us of volition and moral and physical energy.”
—Edward Dahlberg (1900–1977)
“Coming together again after a long day apart can be an experience where joy, relief, anger, and fatigue are all present in different degrees both for the parent and for the child. Because of their importance in marking the resumption of direct contact, reunions deserve as much attention and care as separations to enhance the relationship between parent and child.”
—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)
