After purchasing the HEP (head end power) equipped F40PH-2s between 1986 & 1989, VIA planned to convert many of its coaches from steam heating to electric heating and scrap the rest. The last steam heated passenger train from Halifax left on 23 January 1993. Over the previous 18 months more of the steel (ex CN) blue and yellow coaches were in use while the ex CP Stainless Steel coaches were refurbished and converted to electric heat. At this time the Ocean ran three days per week as did the Atlantic (on different days). The consists alternated between the two trains and much of the equipment was maintained at the Halifax Maintenance Centre adjacent to the station. This video shows some of these changes.
