VIA trains in Canada travel at a speed on 100 mph or 161 kmph at maximum. Trains right away start accelerating after departing dorval and hit 150 kmph in no time before decelerating for the Perrot Island bridge.
I was at Cedar Park bridge, where trains towards Montreal hit 150+ and trains from Montreal accelerate through 140+.
153 kmph or 95 mph is the maximum speed of trains with EMD F40PH -2. Only LRC cars with P42DC are allowed for 100 mph or 161 kmph. Siemens Venture Trainsets are also permitted for 160.
