The New Brunswick East Coast Railway is a 311 mile railway operating in New Brunswick between Campbellton and Pacific Junction near Moncton with important spurs between Dalhousie Junction and Dalhousie, Nepisiguit Junction and Brunswick Mines, and Nelson to Chatham.
The mainline (and related spurs) was formerly Canadian National Railway's second mainline between Montreal and Moncton. Its entire route was built originally as the Intercolonial Railway of Canada. NBEC started operations in December 1997 and is owned by the Société des chemins de fer du Québec.
VIA Rail's Montreal-Halifax passenger train, the Ocean, operates along the entire length of the NBEC's Newcastle Subdivision.
