Standard services operating heritage equipment

While not considered heritage railways, three passenger railways operate equipment built in the 1960s and earlier.

• Ontario Northland Railway operates a passenger service between Cochrane and Moosonee making use of a fleet with heritage value.
• Via Rail Canada operates equipment dating back as far as 1947 on all its routes, notably featuring Park cars built by Canadian Pacific Railway on The Canadian, The Ocean, the Jasper-Prince Rupert train, and the Winnipeg-Churchill train. Illustrating the heritage value of this fleet, one of its cars is already on display at Canadian Railway Museum in Saint-Constant, Quebec. Via Rail also continues to operate RDCs on the Sudbury-White River train in Ontario.
• The Tshiuetin Railway in Labrador operates a vintage fleet of passenger cars in regular service.
