Vancouver to Toronto on VIA Rail's "Canadian" (A Complete Railfan's Guide) - HD 1080P
The newest version of my full-length documentary on "The Canadian" - VIA Rail's Transcontinental passenger train which runs from Vancouver to Toronto.
VIA Rail Canada has announced their intention to upgrade this historic train with newer equipment, so I have re-edited this video with additional information & re-saved it in 1080 pixel format here for historical purposes.
Recorded during our scenic land cruise across Canada in March of 2022 and showcasing the breathtaking scenery, and world class service & accommodations to be found aboard VIA Rail Canada's premier passenger train.

    The "Manor" series sleeping cars used in the Canadian have six bedrooms ("Cabin for 2" ), lettered A to F. By a quirk of the car's design, bedroom "F" is significantly larger than the others (which makes a big difference in floor space when the beds are folded down). Since VIA does not make a distinction in fare for this one room, it gives a bonus for costing the same as the others. Therefore, experienced travellers and railfans "in the know" reserving a bedroom always try to book "F" . Phone into VIA directly to book this room, as the website doesnt give you the choice of letter.

    Once my husband and I decided to take this train in 2025, I’ve been watching several videos on the subject. When I saw that you had a 4-part series on almost the route we’re doing, I knew I had to watch all of them. I’m just on part 1 and almost decided a two hour video was too long. However, I started watching and was amazed how much more information you included in your video. So now I’m definitely watching them all. Thanks very much for the time and effort I know this took. It’s most appreciated.

    • @hiawathapete426
      @hiawathapete426 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for watching my video. Amtrak's train from Portland to San Francisco is the Coast Startlight: www.amtrak.com/coast-starlight-train. Unfortunately there is no direct train service between Vegas & San Francisco, that's why we got a rental car & drove from Reno to Vegas. The Amtrak California Zephyr train from Chicago to Reno was about 2 days, the drive to Vegas is 7 hours, and then after our stay in Vegas we continued on the California Zephyr to San Francisco which took another day.

      Hi, Thanks for watching. The Lionel MPC F3 from 1973 is a single motored unit & doesn't have the pulling power of the twin motored version. The second A unit in my consist was a dummy that I converted to another single motored unit with a chassis off of ebay. My modified ABA set (now with 2 motors total) could now probably pull a 6th aluminum K-line passenger car if I had one, but 5 is all I have. FYI, the GP9 is a dummy (modern Lionel cab on dummy MPC chassis)

    Just one more comment I live outside of St Louis and in 1967 we drove to California on Highway 70 that's the highway you see next to the train now called Highway 6 when we went through it was just two lane luckily there were no accidents so we drove right through onward to San Francisco

    The conductor on Amtrak is the same conductor I've heard over the years in different train videos thanks for making your video

    Love your video. Is there an app available where you can track in real time your journey on Amtrak?

      asm.transitdocs.com/ tracks all of Amtrak's & VIA's trains in real time & tells you if the train is running late or early. Just click on the appropriate train # on the map to get the aforementioned info. Thanks for checking out my video!

    I'm itching to go on another train trip. Which do you prefer? VIA or Amtrak? How do they compare?

      My favorite route is VIA Rail's Canadian followed by Amtrak's Empire Builder & California Zephyr tied for a very close second place. I find the onboard accommodations are comparable for both systems. Cheers, Pete

    Thanks, though as a Seattleite I’m baffled as to why you call it the LRT. Everyone here just refers to it as Light Rail. If you asked someone where the LRT is, you’d likely get a quizzical look.

      LRT is what they call it in Toronto

      Thx for the feedback, LRT stands for Light Rail Transit, but good to know the local jargon.
