I thought about making that trip many times but didn't have the time due to work. After retiring didn't have the the means. Now I made the trip virtually, thank you.
You're welcome Bill! Even if you're unable to do this trip yourself I'm glad you enjoyed this video at least. I think I captured the best scenery that you would have seen :)
It was a bucket-list trip for my wife and I but she passed away so I am going to do the trip solo. I'm retired, in failing health and very low income, but I'm going to make it happen while I'm able.
I enjoy the video, minimal low volume background. Showing the maps and menus. The inside of the train and scenery. I actually stay in my chair watch the whole video without getting up. Thank you Watertown, Connecticut
Hi Jim! That's amazing! I didn't think anyone would watch the whole thing because it's such a long video LOL! I'm not a professional TH-camr but I had fun putting this together. I'm so glad you enjoyed it and I appreciate your generous compliments. I hope life is good in Watertown CT!
Absolutely. I spent so many hours staring out the window watching the changing landscapes. For 4 days I was never bored. The train is the best way to see Canada! Thanks David for commenting!
I've done this trip a couple times each way, but not for decades. There is nothing more beautiful or re-invigorating. You really have no idea how huge Canada is until you've done this. Especially when you bear in mind that Toronto is really in the middle of the country, not the east coast. Terrific video.
Yes- that's absolutely true. It really gave me a sense of the size of Canada. That's great that you've been able to do this trip a few times :) Thank you so much for your compliment! Much appreciated
It was an absolute wonderful, thrilling, and a incredible experience...the beautiful sceneries , the snow capped mountains, the calm lakes, which reflected the heavens above, also not forgetting to mention the flowing rivers, the pine trees....marvelous train journey on a very lovely train
It was definitely an incredible trip! Through all the long hours on the train I never got bored. Thank you so much Victor for your comments. I appreciate it!
I rode the Canadian in 1964 I was 12 years old. My Dad had taken the entire family on a train trip from San Fr(ancisco to the New York worlds fair. Took another train Delaware central? and went to Quebec city where we took the Canadian from. It was a magical trip we went coach but we could eat in the dining car. I love that they still have the same dome cars. Thank you for the great video! (we took 2 other trains back through Seattle to SF) Thank you again I would love to take the same trip again someday!
What an amazing journey you did with your family! Those are all wonderful routes! I wish my family took me on a trip like this when I was a kid. Thanks so much for sharing your memories- and hopefully you can take a similar trip again. Glad you enjoyed the video!
It speaks volumes of the lack of rail service in Kanada old coaches and wait forever on sidings as freight has priority, but hey thank you for this awesome video
Absolutely one of the best rail passenger videos I have ever seen. I've done all of the western Canadian routes back in 1989 and 1995 and much of the scenery west of Hinton Alberta was familiar to me. My jaw dropped and tongue fell out at the many delightful dishes served in the Dining Cars and Cafe. The availability of breakfast on arrival at Vancouver was a pleasant surprise. I chuckled at seeing the Amtrak security fence to the left at Vancouver. I arrived from Seattle that way in 1995. You have done great justice to Train No 1 Toronto to Vancouver Steve so congratulations from this Aussie from Melbourne. Cheers!🙂🙂🙂
Hi Michael- thank you so much for your generous compliment- that means a lot! I'm glad you enjoyed it even though it's not a professional video. The meals I had on the train were surprisingly good! I didn't even notice the Amtrak security fence in Vancouver Haha! Thank you for pointing that out! Thanks for sharing your comments. I hope all is well in Melbourne!!
STEVE, you have done a fantastic job. I have seen many train videos but I never seen one like yours. You showed us the beautiful view you did not have a lot of talk or noise you had some beautiful explanation on the screen . I salute you and thank you so much.
Thank you so much for your very kind compliment! It really means a lot to me. Even though I'm not a professional TH-camr- just a tourist filming on my phone. I'm glad you enjoyed watching it. Take care my friend!
In the last eighteen months I've travelled on quite a few virtual train journeys, but this one beats them all. What a terrific experience! I've always wanted to see The Rockies and now I have. Thank you so much for this brilliant video. Everything about it is perfect. ❤
Thank you so much Anna for your very generous compliment! It really means a lot to me. I'm not a professional TH-camr, and I didn't think this video would get that many views. It's not perfect but I think I captured the best parts of this trip. I'm glad you enjoyed watching it!

Thanks a million, Steve! We are doing this 4-day trip in Oct 26th, then drive back to Kamloops, Banff and Calgary. You video helped a lot on what to expect! You did a great job and lots of techniques applied to provide helpful info. A Real PRO!
Thanks so much Oscar!! I'm just a regular tourist who films video clips on my iPhone and then put this video together. I wish I had a funny entertaining personality so I could put my commentary into these videos like professional TH-camrs. But I'm glad you enjoyed the video for what it is. I hope to do more of these train trips and make some new videos. I appreciate your compliment!
Excellent video. Almost like watching a movie. Superb photography and editing. Never a dull moment. Watching this may be the next best thing to actually travelling the route (which we are unlikely to get a chance to)! Thanks Steve for all your effort.
Whatever happened to Saskatoon? Only because I spent 12 years of my youth there! A great video. In 1962 September, I had taken the CN train from Montreal to Saskatoon. For my honeymoon (1969) my wife and I took the train from Saskatoon to Vancouver, thus completing the long journey in two parts, seven years apart! These days we drive from Vancouver to Jasper and back but we have also taken the train a couple of times. What a marvelous journey. In sixties, there used to be two trains every day each way. Now it is down to two a week. Thanks for bringing back memories.
Hi @ndagnish! I didn't get any good footage of Saskatoon- since the train station was outside the city center in a very uninteresting area. Since the layover was only an hour it wasn't enough time to walk to the city center and come back. Thank for for sharing your wonderful memories! Saskatoon looks like a nice place to grow up- but I imagine much different back in the 1960's. I wish I was able to drive the beautiful region between Vancouver & Jasper- how lucky you are! Someday I'll rent a car and explore this area in depth. I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and I appreciate your comment!
Many thanks to TH-cam’s vloggers on different Sleeper Train travels around the world. Wathching those seemed I had travelled too. I am watching from the Philippines. How I wish, I can afford it.
Thank you so much my friend! I also love watching these long distance train videos on TH-cam. I wish these were more affordable for everyone. I hope all is well from the beautiful Philippines!
I know! Very disappointing- I got some decent views of the canyon when there was barely enough light left- but too dark to film it. Thank you for commenting Doug!
Another brilliant video to watch Steve, coming from Yorkshire, as you know, I have never seen such stunning scenery and you have shown it all, another big thankyou.
Thanks so much Gwen! The scenery was even more beautiful in person- I tried my best to capture it. I'm glad you enjoyed watching- and again I'm very thankful for your compliments!!
Did this journey from Vancouver to Toronto 1962. Loved it ,was an epic journey. Lived and work in Canada for two years then did the drive on Route 66. . .from Canada to LA. where I caught the ship home back to New Zealand . Kiwi from Virginia
A+ video of this wonderful train , now i really want to do this, on my bucket list since i was 15, the rockies is my favorite spot for sure, but Canada sure is beautiful!!🥰🥰😃
Thank you so much! It was a trip of a lifetime, and the Rockies were definitely the highlight. I hope you can do this trip someday! I appreciate your comment and thanks for watching!!
Nice video. Love my memories of riding from Saskatoon to Vancouver and back when we were kids. NIce camera work, especially at the end with the sunset. The dome is just the best, with the ability to see in front of and behind the train, especially in the mountains, and in the endless Ontario forest. I'd like to see a cross fade between your clips, very easy to do. Great job.
Thank you so much Roy! I really appreciate your compliments! I spent most of the trip in the Dome car- its definitely a great vantage point. Your lucky to have these wonderful memories as a kid riding these trains. When I put together this video I wasn't sure if I should put a transition between each shot. Now I wish I did- it would have enhanced the overall video. Thank you for the suggestion! I'm glad you enjoyed watching :)
Thank you for a most enjoyable trainride. The scenery was outstanding and it felt like I was actually on the train. So much so I have Subscribed to your channel to watch any other trip you do.
So well done. I did this trip years ago. Now that we saw your video, my 81 year old hubby has put it on his bucket list. Toronto-Vancouver return next spring. BTW thanks for not throwing music on here.
That's amazing! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and I really hope you and your hubby are able to do this trip yourself! I put music on my previous train videos and people hated it Hahaha. Thank you Ghislaine for commenting!
Thank you so much! The trip was amazing! , I love all the views and the photograph is incredible!. I enjoy a lot all the information about each city and town, and cultural issues. Congratulations for your journey! Best regards from Mexico. 🙋♀
Wow, thanks for a great trip across my Canada. I have travelled by train many times when I was young from Edmonton to Vancouver, but it was great to see the way it is now. Looks like you had a great trip.
What an excellent video, WOW! Thank you for sharing. I loved it so much, I'm going to watch it again and again. I really appreciate the natural sounds instead of music, thanks for that as well. Wishing you the very best. 😊
You're very welcome Al! Thanks so much for the nice compliment! I'm not a professional TH-camr, I just put together these videos for fun. Glad u enjoyed it!
Fantastic trip across Canada. Scenery around Jasper is amazing. Great video quality I have enjoyed from my chair. The written narration is perfect vs speaking. Thank you for videoing this long trip.
Thank you so much Raymond. I'm not a professional TH-camr- I just like filming video clips on my phone and putting together a video to remember my trip. I'm glad you enjoyed it and I appreciate your kind compliments!
Awesome !!! Video made. Admire your hard work & patience to give these scenic shots. Fantabulous job !!! done, keep making more such breath taking videos & God bless you in your future endeavours.
Thank you so much Sanjay for your very kind comments! I'm not a professional TH-camr- just a tourist filming on my iPhone. But I had fun putting this together. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks so much RC! It's my pleasure. The train was somewhat empty but not as empty as in looks in the video. I purposely filmed the interiors of the train during times it was unusually empty- like when passengers were having their breakfast and lunch seatings. Or early morning, late at night. The train was full of a large French tour group that left the train in Jasper- and the rest of the trip was much less crowded. I hope to do another video soon!
@@rc1983 I doubt that would happen anytime soon. It's still a very popular route especially during the peak seasons. Even the $10,000 prestige cabins sell out. I hope you're able to do this trip in the near future!
Thanks for the HI resolution imagery. Thanks for NOT putting music over. (I can play my own choice of music if I so choose.) Thanks for the map shots. Thanks for minimum meal shots. Thanks for the annotations. The time stamps worked well too. Thanks for editing the many views. I especially like your emphasis on water scenes. Ronn
Interesting & entertaining. Excellent photography job enabling viewers to see 👀 the same scenic beauty. As those traveling on the 🚂. Wonderful accommodations/exotic meals/fantastic views relaxing in the sky line car dome. Money 💰 well spent for riders lucky enough to enjoy the once in their lifetime journey.
Thank you so much! I was truly amazed by the scenery and the whole experience overall. It was expensive for my budget but I'm fortunate that I was able to do this at least once in my life. And I can just watch this video whenever I want to re-live it. I appreciate your kind compliment and I'm glad you found it entertaining!
Awesome video, lovely outside shots! So many videos show more of the inside than the outside, yours are perfect. So much water ! Love from South Africa.
Thank you MJ!! I tried to find a good balance between the outdoor shots and interior shots that show all the areas of the train. I'm glad you enjoyed it! I hope life is good in South Africa!
I van only imagine the enormous amount of energy and expertise that went into the construction of this'll railroad!! Whew! Thank you for this superb video.
SHARON SHNEYER, Philadelphia PA. Thank you for the wonderful video, which while I haven't watched yet, I did save it to email to watch at another time. The days of me traveling anywhere are not possible, but I can remember my late parents taking me across the US by train where we stopped and visited national parks and other places (we also did some flying). Later when my parents took me with them to Europe for a month we had an EuroRail Pass. As an adult, (and one-time rail and transit activist), I was able to do some traveling by myself. My most memorable experience (excluding the fact that I had to go from Philadelphia to New York City first), was taking the train to Toronto (my favorite city), and then taking the Ontario Northland Railway, which I don't know if it exists anymore), to Cochrane, Ontario, an overnight ride and I had a single roomate, where I stayed for a few days, and then took the Polar Bear Express from Cochrane to Mosinee. It was 2 1/2 hours up each way, and you had 5 hours there and you could walk around (I don't remember if there was a tour or not, but I wrote everything down on the trip including what I ate). There is a hotel there. It is where the James Bay starts. I then spent about a week in Toronto, a few days in Ottawa, and a week in Montreal (doing this all by train of course). I'm still in awe of Cochrane. I always tell people who are younger, that if you are going to do any traveling, do it while you are young, because you never know what will happen when you get older. Even expensive places like New York City, you can figure out how to do things cheaply. In Washington DC, the museum's are free. I look forward to watching your video at a more practical time.
Thank you so much Sharon for sharing those wonderful memories of your train travels! You're lucky to have been able to have done all that from a young age. Many people I know have never traveled at all or have even been outside of their state. I also love Toronto and Montreal. You're right that it's easy to explore these regions on your own and do it on a budget. It's a common regret that retirees have that they wish they had done more traveling when they were young. I started when I was 26, I'm 43 now and I'm hoping to stay active and healthy so I can keep traveling until I'm 80- we'll see haha. I hope you'll enjoy watching this video when you get a chance. I appreciate you sharing your comments. I hope all is well in Philadelphia!
I just did this trip from Toronto to Vancouver June 26-30. This videos brings back memories of my trip. Now I am considering doing it again! Perhaps next time I'll go the other direction in the winter.
That’s awesome! Very cool that you just did this same trip! I hope you enjoyed it as much as me- I would love to do it again in the other direction. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
You're welcome! The Zephyr was my first long distance train trip I did- during the pandemic. If you enjoyed that trip you will certainly enjoy this one too- I hope you can do it someday. Thank you for watching and commenting :)
What a fantastic video. At the end I had the feeling of doing the journey myself. I restarted the video on a huge TV and it was so impressive like looking out of the train window. Living in Europe makes it very expensive to get a transcontinental ride on the Canadian. But it will be my personal trip of a lifetime and I hope to do it in 2024. Very warm greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Thank you Michael! I really appreciate you kind words- I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm sure it's more enjoyable to watch on a large TV than on a phone :) It's an expensive trip but I'm so glad I did it- and I really hope you'll be able to do it yourself in 2024!! Thanks so much for watching and commenting- hope life is good in Germany!!
This brought back some memories. In September 1968 I rode the now defunct Canadian Pacific train cross country from Montreal. Upper berth in those days. Very fond memories of that trip.
Really lovely video. So nice not to have a voiceover. You let the landscape speak for itself. I live in south central Saskatchewan, and we often feel ignored by travellers and Eastern Canadians, so it was nice to see my neighbouring towns in the video - Raymore, Semans, Nokomis, Watrous. I only wish our gorgeous prairie summers could be in the video. Early spring is not when the prairies are at their best. The mountains are lovely, but give me the wide patchwork fields, small towns dotting the landscape, and open sky any day! Thank you for this. It’s also worth mentioning for non-Canadians that there is another 1500 or so miles east of Toronto. P.S. Now go and listen to the late, great Stan Rogers singing ‘Northwest Passage’. It’s a Canadian anthem 💖.
Thank you so much for the wonderful compliment! The landscapes were truly amazing- and your are very blessed to live here! I would love to do other train trips east of Toronto- I haven't seen that region at all. I've listened to Northwest Passage by Stan Rogers it's a great Anthem! I appreciate your comments :)
Wow. Just breath taking Canada's is beautiful. I am from the US and your rail system way nicer than our amtrak here. I took train from Toledo to Tampa and trains I was not even close to how nice the Canada's rail system is. We here to upgrade our rail and train system desperately. Thank you for sharing I would love to take this trip all the way across Canada.
Thanks so much Jacqueline! I definitely agree. The US rail system is way overdue for an upgrade. But I really enjoyed some of the long distance Amtrak routes. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Great video (though I admit I skipped ahead in places, but I watched it for at least an hour). It was a bit of a trip down memory lane for me, in a weird way. Back in mid 1960s, when I was around 12 years old, we came to Canada and traveled from Vancouver to Toronto on Canadian Pacific. We took what I call peasant class. We had seats in a common car by day that turned into upper and lower berths with curtains by night. I slept in upper berth with a sibling, and Mom slept in lower berth with other 2 siblings. We knew nothing about Canada, so it was all a big thrill. We saw deer in the mountains but no bears etc. Didn't even know to look for bears. We had come from New Zealand (North Island) and had never seen snow and it was April. We had to wait on a siding in Manitoba somewhere at about 9 pm, and we kids were so squirrely by then Mom took us outside for a bit. It was snowing and blowing. Wow, what a wake up for us. I guess the train was less smooth more clackety then, but we loved trains (still do) and loved going to sleep to that clack-clack, swaying. Thanks for sharing this video. It was fun.
Thank you Diana for sharing those wonderful memories! I'm glad this video helped you to relive some of them. I'm sure my experience was similar to yours in a lot of ways. I slept in a berth and the train is still a little noisy and bumpy at times- depending on the speed. It's an experience I'll always cherish. Thanks again for watching and commenting!
Thanks for this awesome video. It brought back memories when I took the same train last Nov 2017 & viewed those i missed! Departure from Toronto was delayed by 4 hrs (2am) & arrival in Vancouver delayed by 6 hrs (2pm).
You're welcome Alma! I'm glad you were able to experience this trip for yourself- but those long delays are pretty common unfortunately! I've been through a 6 hour delay and missed connections. I'm glad you enjoyed the video- and thanks for leaving your comment!
We took the trip on The Snow Train from Toronto to Vancouver 10 years ago .SNOW BEAUTIFUL SNOW AND GOING THROUGH Rockies was straight from Heaven !, We spent two nights in Jasper and our final day and night on the train !!!Delicious food and GREAT staff and very clean !!! Watching the trip when there was no snow put a different view on everything . I liked the snow train the best . We were on a tour from NC and SC and got to see things of interest of winter time in Snowy ❤
That's amazing! I would love to repeat this trip during the winter. Even though there will be less daylight hours to see the views it would be worth it to see all the snow covered landscapes! I lived my whole life in Southern California so I never see snow! Thanks Ed for sharing!!
Very well done! I enjoyed all the information included. To echo what others are saying, it felt like I was on the train. And as a foodie, I appreciate the menu and food shots 😋
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I'm a foodie as well so I made sure to show every meal I had on the train along with the menus. Because a lot of videos don't show the meals- but I think it's pretty important hahaha. I appreciate your comments!
Very nice video and I am amazed that you covered entire 4 days in one video. I did the same journey in September 2021 and had to make 4 separate videos for each day before posting them. 😀
Thanks so much! I'm glad you were able to take the same amazing journey that I took! It wasn't easy to condense the whole 4 days into 1 video. I considered splitting it up into several parts since not many people will watch a 2 hour TH-cam video. I'm ok with how it came out though. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@PhotoBug28 - It was awesome thank you. I would of loved to know more about the movie night, game night ect. I'm planning my first Vancouver to Banff hopefully next month.
@@snoopybluejeans You're welcome! The movie nights and game nights are kind of random- it's planned by the onboard activities staff. They decide and write up a schedule on a dry erase board and post it in the Cafe car. I was always busy looking at the views and filming so I didn't really watch the movies, but I did listen to all the interesting lectures in the observation dome. I hope you're able to do this trip next month! Definitely the experience of a lifetime!
Thanks for the compliment Niteskate! I hope you have a wonderful trip on the Canadian this June. It will definitely be a memorable trip. I'm so glad I decided to do it!
I did Battle Creak Michigan to West Glacier Park in February... and back. great food and cabin with my 12 year old daughter... my employer provided the funds for thirteen years of service to them. i let my daughter drive our snow mobile up to the top of the mountain. super great trip.
I thought about making that trip many times but didn't have the time due to work. After retiring didn't have the the means. Now I made the trip virtually, thank you.

There is no better way to see a country than by train and it just tells us how lovely Canada is, in fact what beautiful world we are lucky to live in

Thanks Steve, this is absolutely the best Great Canadian Rockies video ever.
Thank you so much Peter, that's very kind of you! I'm not a professional videographer, but I'm glad you found it enjoyable!

Saskatoon looks like a nice place to grow up- but I imagine much different back in the 1960's. I wish I was able to drive the beautiful region between Vancouver & Jasper- how lucky you are! Someday I'll rent a car and explore this area in depth. I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and I appreciate your comment!
Sounds like time well spent during your younger days!!!😉
Many thanks to TH-cam’s vloggers on different Sleeper Train travels around the world. Wathching those seemed I had travelled too. I am watching from the Philippines. How I wish, I can afford it.
Thank you so much my friend! I also love watching these long distance train videos on TH-cam. I wish these were more affordable for everyone. I hope all is well from the beautiful Philippines!
The train itself is awesome with its comforts, decor, & comforts absolutely GREAT !
Yes, I agree. For being such old vintage trains I found them to be very comfortable. Thank you for commenting!
Great video.. did this trip in May this year…. Never get tired of watching videos of the route and yours is one of the best….. thanks.
Thanks so much Graham! I'm really glad you enjoyed watching, and I appreciate your compliment!
It amazes me that VIA travels the Fraser Canyon in the dark in both directions. The most scenic part of the whole journey.
I know! Very disappointing- I got some decent views of the canyon when there was barely enough light left- but too dark to film it. Thank you for commenting Doug!
Another brilliant video to watch Steve, coming from Yorkshire, as you know, I have never seen such stunning scenery and you have shown it all, another big thankyou.
Thanks so much Gwen! The scenery was even more beautiful in person- I tried my best to capture it. I'm glad you enjoyed watching- and again I'm very thankful for your compliments!!
Thank you.
You're very welcome :)
Did this journey from Vancouver to Toronto 1962. Loved it ,was an epic journey. Lived and work in Canada for two years then did the drive on Route 66. . .from Canada to LA. where I caught the ship home back to New Zealand . Kiwi from Virginia
That's amazing! Glad you got to experience this incredible trip yourself!
Pretty awesome 👍.
@@23draft7 Thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing this beautiful video so everyone have the chance to see the beuty of traveling by train
You're welcome David! I'm glad you enjoyed the video- thanks so much for watching and sharing your comment!
Great video. I rode the Canadian round trip Toronto-Vancouver-Toronto in 2000 with my father. This brings back lots of good memories.
Thank you so much Bill! I'm glad this video helped you relive some memories of your trip!
A+ video of this wonderful train , now i really want to do this, on my bucket list since i was 15, the rockies is my favorite spot for sure, but Canada sure is beautiful!!🥰🥰😃
Thank you so much! It was a trip of a lifetime, and the Rockies were definitely the highlight. I hope you can do this trip someday! I appreciate your comment and thanks for watching!!
at the start the trees had no leaves.more west they greened up.nice train.good video.thanks
Yes- I really enjoyed seeing the changing scenery. Thank you for your kind compliments Jeff! Much appreciated :)
Nice video. Love my memories of riding from Saskatoon to Vancouver and back when we were kids. NIce camera work, especially at the end with the sunset. The dome is just the best, with the ability to see in front of and behind the train, especially in the mountains, and in the endless Ontario forest. I'd like to see a cross fade between your clips, very easy to do. Great job.
Thank you so much Roy! I really appreciate your compliments! I spent most of the trip in the Dome car- its definitely a great vantage point. Your lucky to have these wonderful memories as a kid riding these trains. When I put together this video I wasn't sure if I should put a transition between each shot. Now I wish I did- it would have enhanced the overall video. Thank you for the suggestion! I'm glad you enjoyed watching :)
Wonderful travel,with special landscapes. ❤
Thank you for watching and commenting Francisco! Yes the landscapes were truly beautiful- especially when you see it in person :)
Absolutely superb film! Thanx for posting. Greetings from America.
Thank you so much Dusty for your kind compliment. I really appreciate it!
Thank you for an amazing video. And good luck to you for the best weather for beautiful scenery.
Thank you so much Rune- I really appreciate your kindness. I'm glad you liked the video!
Thank you for a most enjoyable trainride. The scenery was outstanding and it felt like I was actually on the train. So much so I have Subscribed to your channel to watch any other trip you do.
Thank you so much Dave! That's very kind of you. I'm glad you enjoyed watching and I hope to do more train videos like this :)
So well done. I did this trip years ago. Now that we saw your video, my 81 year old hubby has put it on his bucket list. Toronto-Vancouver return next spring. BTW thanks for not throwing music on here.
That's amazing! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and I really hope you and your hubby are able to do this trip yourself! I put music on my previous train videos and people hated it Hahaha. Thank you Ghislaine for commenting!
Thank you so much! The trip was amazing! , I love all the views and the photograph is incredible!.
I enjoy a lot all the information about each city and town, and cultural issues.
Congratulations for your journey! Best regards from Mexico. 🙋♀
Thank you so much Deyanira! I really appreciate your compliments and I'm glad you enjoyed watching. Hope all is well in beautiful Mexico!
Excellent video showing nick and corner.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your comment :)
Wow, thanks for a great trip across my Canada. I have travelled by train many times when I was young from Edmonton to Vancouver, but it was great to see the way it is now. Looks like you had a great trip.
Thanks so much Barb! It was certainly an incredible trip. Glad you've been fortunate enough to travel this area by train too!

What an excellent video, WOW! Thank you for sharing. I loved it so much, I'm going to watch it again and again. I really appreciate the natural sounds instead of music, thanks for that as well. Wishing you the very best. 😊
Thank you so much Miss Dashwood! I'm really glad you enjoyed watching it! I appreciate your kind compliments :) Take care!!

Thank you so much for you generous compliment- I'm glad that you enjoyed watching it! I wish you a wonderful New Year!
This is definitely on my bucket list. Thanks for taking us along.
You're welcome! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
Great video, bravo, I enjoyed it very much and Canada is a really beautiful country. Thanks again
Thank you very much! I fell in love with the beauty of the Canadian landscapes. I'm glad you enjoyed this video!
Stupendous journey! Thank you so much! Best documentary on the Canadian I have yet to see!
You're very welcome Al! Thanks so much for the nice compliment! I'm not a professional TH-camr, I just put together these videos for fun. Glad u enjoyed it!
Fantastic trip across Canada. Scenery around Jasper is amazing. Great video quality I have enjoyed from my chair. The written narration is perfect vs speaking. Thank you for videoing this long trip.
Thank you so much Doreen! I'm really glad you enjoyed it- and I appreciate your nice compliment!
An amazing video from start to finish. Thanks a million for sharing and for recording this epic journey.
Thank you so much Raymond. I'm not a professional TH-camr- I just like filming video clips on my phone and putting together a video to remember my trip. I'm glad you enjoyed it and I appreciate your kind compliments!
Awesome !!!
Video made.
Admire your hard work & patience to give these scenic shots. Fantabulous job !!! done, keep making more such breath taking videos & God bless you in your future endeavours.
Thank you so much Sanjay for your very kind comments! I'm not a professional TH-camr- just a tourist filming on my iPhone. But I had fun putting this together. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
This is absolutely spectacular! Love the beautiful views!
Thank you so much Peter! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. The views are more impressive in person :)
Its awesome country in all respects : Huge, Beautiful, Peaceful & Changing fascinating sceniros of vivid landscapes & very clean. !
I agree- Canada is full of incredible beauty and impressive landcapes. Thank you Arun for watching!
Beautiful 🇨🇦! Thank you for sharing. Feeling sad because of so many empty seats. I hope there will be another video in autumn😊
Thanks so much RC! It's my pleasure. The train was somewhat empty but not as empty as in looks in the video. I purposely filmed the interiors of the train during times it was unusually empty- like when passengers were having their breakfast and lunch seatings. Or early morning, late at night. The train was full of a large French tour group that left the train in Jasper- and the rest of the trip was much less crowded. I hope to do another video soon!
@@PhotoBug28 😊 sounds good! I just don’t want them to cut this route before I save up enough to experience the ride, maybe early September😊
@@rc1983 I doubt that would happen anytime soon. It's still a very popular route especially during the peak seasons. Even the $10,000 prestige cabins sell out. I hope you're able to do this trip in the near future!
Thanks for the HI resolution imagery.
Thanks for NOT putting music over. (I can play my own choice of music if I so choose.)
Thanks for the map shots.
Thanks for minimum meal shots.
Thanks for the annotations. The time stamps worked well too.
Thanks for editing the many views. I especially like your emphasis on water scenes.
Ronn
Thanks so much Ron for all the compliments! It's definitely not a perfect video since I am not a professional TH-camr. But I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you Mr. Kelso for the wonderful ride across Canada.
You're very welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed watching!
Interesting & entertaining. Excellent photography job enabling viewers to see 👀 the same scenic beauty. As those traveling on the 🚂. Wonderful accommodations/exotic meals/fantastic views relaxing in the sky line car dome. Money 💰 well spent for riders lucky enough to enjoy the once in their lifetime journey.
Thank you so much! I was truly amazed by the scenery and the whole experience overall. It was expensive for my budget but I'm fortunate that I was able to do this at least once in my life. And I can just watch this video whenever I want to re-live it. I appreciate your kind compliment and I'm glad you found it entertaining!
Awesome video, lovely outside shots! So many videos show more of the inside than the outside, yours are perfect. So much water ! Love from South Africa.
Thank you MJ!! I tried to find a good balance between the outdoor shots and interior shots that show all the areas of the train. I'm glad you enjoyed it! I hope life is good in South Africa!
Thanks! Got that marked off the bucket list for way cheaper than expected! Appreciate it!
You're welcome Carole! LOL. I love re-living other people's trips on TH-cam rather than traveling there myself sometimes :)
I van only imagine the enormous amount of energy and expertise that went into the construction of this'll railroad!! Whew! Thank you for this superb video.
It's incredible to think about what an engineering feat it was to build this rail line! I'm glad you enjoyed watching the video. Thanks Mary Lou!!
SHARON SHNEYER, Philadelphia PA. Thank you for the wonderful video, which while I haven't watched yet, I did save it to email to watch at another time.
The days of me traveling anywhere are not possible, but I can remember my late parents taking me across the US by train where we stopped and visited national parks and other places (we also did some flying). Later when my parents took me with them to Europe for a month we had an EuroRail Pass.
As an adult, (and one-time rail and transit activist), I was able to do some traveling by myself. My most memorable experience (excluding the fact that I had to go from Philadelphia to New York City first), was taking the train to Toronto (my favorite city), and then taking the Ontario Northland Railway, which I don't know if it exists anymore), to Cochrane, Ontario, an overnight ride and I had a single roomate, where I stayed for a few days, and then took the Polar Bear Express from Cochrane to Mosinee. It was 2 1/2 hours up each way, and you had 5 hours there and you could walk around (I don't remember if there was a tour or not, but I wrote everything down on the trip including what I ate). There is a hotel there. It is where the James Bay starts.
I then spent about a week in Toronto, a few days in Ottawa, and a week in Montreal (doing this all by train of course). I'm still in awe of Cochrane. I always tell people who are younger, that if you are going to do any traveling, do it while you are young, because you never know what will happen when you get older. Even expensive places like New York City, you can figure out how to do things cheaply. In Washington DC, the museum's are free. I look forward to watching your video at a more practical time.
Thank you so much Sharon for sharing those wonderful memories of your train travels! You're lucky to have been able to have done all that from a young age. Many people I know have never traveled at all or have even been outside of their state. I also love Toronto and Montreal. You're right that it's easy to explore these regions on your own and do it on a budget. It's a common regret that retirees have that they wish they had done more traveling when they were young. I started when I was 26, I'm 43 now and I'm hoping to stay active and healthy so I can keep traveling until I'm 80- we'll see haha. I hope you'll enjoy watching this video when you get a chance. I appreciate you sharing your comments. I hope all is well in Philadelphia!
I just did this trip from Toronto to Vancouver June 26-30. This videos brings back memories of my trip. Now I am considering doing it again! Perhaps next time I'll go the other direction in the winter.
That’s awesome! Very cool that you just did this same trip! I hope you enjoyed it as much as me- I would love to do it again in the other direction. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
Beautiful vid,,, thanks so much. Did the Zephyr (Amtrak) a couple of years ago, I'll do VIA sometime.
You're welcome! The Zephyr was my first long distance train trip I did- during the pandemic. If you enjoyed that trip you will certainly enjoy this one too- I hope you can do it someday. Thank you for watching and commenting :)
Very enjoyable video, Steve. Enjoyed every minute of the journey. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Thank you so much Clayton! I appreciate your kind compliment! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
...Beautiful Train Ride and Trip...!!!!....🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much Hellen! It was such an amazing trip with beautiful scenery! I appreciate your comment :)
Awesome! Thanks from the African continent.
You're welcome Daniel!!
What a fantastic video. At the end I had the feeling of doing the journey myself. I restarted the video on a huge TV and it was so impressive like looking out of the train window. Living in Europe makes it very expensive to get a transcontinental ride on the Canadian. But it will be my personal trip of a lifetime and I hope to do it in 2024. Very warm greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Thank you Michael! I really appreciate you kind words- I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm sure it's more enjoyable to watch on a large TV than on a phone :) It's an expensive trip but I'm so glad I did it- and I really hope you'll be able to do it yourself in 2024!! Thanks so much for watching and commenting- hope life is good in Germany!!
maybe we can do it together~ im also travel alone.... this black frinday weekend Via rail has 25% off~~~
@@elliottkingdom That's a good deal! I would consider it :)
Did it in 2015 along with nearly all the long-distance US Amtrak trains. Severely dented the pension fund but absolutely worth it !!!!!
@@rogerstanton8192 That's awesome! Same here! Expensive but definitely worth it to do it at least once in your life.
This brought back some memories. In September 1968 I rode the now defunct Canadian Pacific train cross country from Montreal. Upper berth in those days. Very fond memories of that trip.
Love that VIA kept the vintage 50s vibes
Me too! Hopefully they will keep these vintage train cars in service for a long time :)
The best train video yet.
Thank you Martin for the compliment!!
One of the most beautiful train ride🙏
Absolutely! Thank you Marleen for commenting :)
Just like the cruise lines, you get breakfast on the departure day...So nice
Yes! I was not expecting that :)
I have traveled from Minnesota, U.S. to Calgary, Alberta by Train; this trip is absolutely amazing...thanks for sharing.
That's incredible! You're very fortunate to have seen these beautiful areas by train! Thank you for watching and posting your comment :)
Greetings from Germany.Thank's for this perfekt amazing trip,....!
Hi Klaus! Thanks so much-I'm glad you enjoyed watching! Hope life is good in Germany :)
Wonderful video….you were blessed with exceptional weather. I hope my trip in October of 2023 from Vancouver to Toronto will be as wonderful as yours!
Thank you so much Pete! Yes we did have nice weather for most of the trip. I hope you have an incredible time on the Canadian in October!
Absolutely gorgeous scenery, throughly enjoyable video, thank you
Thank you so much Chris! That compliment means a lot!
Awesome trip Steve! Thanks for sharing it with the masses!😊👍❤️
Thank you so much Jon!
What a beautiful video. Rockies are the best part for me. overall nice.
Thank you so much Violet! The Rockies were the highlight of this trip for sure! Glad you enjoyed watching :)
Wonderful vídeo! Thank You for sharing. I simply travelled across Canada !
Thank you for the compliment Chris! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
train journey can be really relaxing and soothing at times
Yes absolutely. I can spend many hours on the train and not get bored :)
Really lovely video. So nice not to have a voiceover. You let the landscape speak for itself. I live in south central Saskatchewan, and we often feel ignored by travellers and Eastern Canadians, so it was nice to see my neighbouring towns in the video - Raymore, Semans, Nokomis, Watrous. I only wish our gorgeous prairie summers could be in the video. Early spring is not when the prairies are at their best. The mountains are lovely, but give me the wide patchwork fields, small towns dotting the landscape, and open sky any day! Thank you for this. It’s also worth mentioning for non-Canadians that there is another 1500 or so miles east of Toronto.
P.S. Now go and listen to the late, great Stan Rogers singing ‘Northwest Passage’. It’s a Canadian anthem 💖.
Thank you so much for the wonderful compliment! The landscapes were truly amazing- and your are very blessed to live here! I would love to do other train trips east of Toronto- I haven't seen that region at all. I've listened to Northwest Passage by Stan Rogers it's a great Anthem! I appreciate your comments :)
Brilliant video, thoroughly enjoyed it, beautiful country🙂 xxxxx
Thank you so much Ronald for watching and commenting. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
How i would love to go on that trip,,it looks stunning,thanks fo posting.
You're welcome Tony! Thank you for watching and commenting!
thanks for sharing, beautiful country we live in
Thanks so much Percy! You're definitely blessed to live in Canada!
Wow. Just breath taking Canada's is beautiful. I am from the US and your rail system way nicer than our amtrak here. I took train from Toledo to Tampa and trains I was not even close to how nice the Canada's rail system is. We here to upgrade our rail and train system desperately. Thank you for sharing I would love to take this trip all the way across Canada.
Thanks so much Jacqueline! I definitely agree. The US rail system is way overdue for an upgrade. But I really enjoyed some of the long distance Amtrak routes. Thank you for watching and commenting!
thanks for creating this video...I loved the trip and you did an excellent job
Thanks so much John! It's definitely not a professional video but I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Great video (though I admit I skipped ahead in places, but I watched it for at least an hour). It was a bit of a trip down memory lane for me, in a weird way. Back in mid 1960s, when I was around 12 years old, we came to Canada and traveled from Vancouver to Toronto on Canadian Pacific. We took what I call peasant class. We had seats in a common car by day that turned into upper and lower berths with curtains by night. I slept in upper berth with a sibling, and Mom slept in lower berth with other 2 siblings. We knew nothing about Canada, so it was all a big thrill. We saw deer in the mountains but no bears etc. Didn't even know to look for bears. We had come from New Zealand (North Island) and had never seen snow and it was April. We had to wait on a siding in Manitoba somewhere at about 9 pm, and we kids were so squirrely by then Mom took us outside for a bit. It was snowing and blowing. Wow, what a wake up for us. I guess the train was less smooth more clackety then, but we loved trains (still do) and loved going to sleep to that clack-clack, swaying. Thanks for sharing this video. It was fun.
Thank you Diana for sharing those wonderful memories! I'm glad this video helped you to relive some of them. I'm sure my experience was similar to yours in a lot of ways. I slept in a berth and the train is still a little noisy and bumpy at times- depending on the speed. It's an experience I'll always cherish. Thanks again for watching and commenting!
Exceptional video! Very well shot and edited I thought.
That's very kind of you Vince! I'm glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for taking the time to comment!
Thanks for this awesome video. It brought back memories when I took the same train last Nov 2017 & viewed those i missed! Departure from Toronto was delayed by 4 hrs (2am) & arrival in Vancouver delayed by 6 hrs (2pm).
You're welcome Alma! I'm glad you were able to experience this trip for yourself- but those long delays are pretty common unfortunately! I've been through a 6 hour delay and missed connections. I'm glad you enjoyed the video- and thanks for leaving your comment!
Superb images of the route of this train on the Toronto-Vancouver route!
Thank you for the compliment! I'm glad you enjoyed the video :)
WOW. Great trip. This train is on our bucket list.
Thank you Ernie for commenting! I really hope you get to do this trip someday!
We took the trip on The Snow Train from Toronto to Vancouver 10 years ago .SNOW BEAUTIFUL SNOW AND GOING THROUGH Rockies was straight from Heaven !, We spent two nights in Jasper and our final day and night on the train !!!Delicious food and GREAT staff and very clean !!!
Watching the trip when there was no snow put a different view on everything .
I liked the snow train the best . We were on a tour from NC and SC and got to see things of interest of winter time in Snowy ❤
That's amazing! I would love to repeat this trip during the winter. Even though there will be less daylight hours to see the views it would be worth it to see all the snow covered landscapes! I lived my whole life in Southern California so I never see snow! Thanks Ed for sharing!!
I wached this video till the end. Its Beautiful train tour...
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed this video, and thanks for taking the time to comment :)
Spectacular scenery begins with Jasper.
Definitely! I saved the best part of the route for last. Thanks for watching Janice!
Wonderful review, looks delightful! 0:44
Thanks so much Patricia!
Very well done! I enjoyed all the information included. To echo what others are saying, it felt like I was on the train. And as a foodie, I appreciate the menu and food shots 😋
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I'm a foodie as well so I made sure to show every meal I had on the train along with the menus. Because a lot of videos don't show the meals- but I think it's pretty important hahaha. I appreciate your comments!
Very nice video and I am amazed that you covered entire 4 days in one video. I did the same journey in September 2021 and had to make 4 separate videos for each day before posting them. 😀
Thanks so much! I'm glad you were able to take the same amazing journey that I took! It wasn't easy to condense the whole 4 days into 1 video. I considered splitting it up into several parts since not many people will watch a 2 hour TH-cam video. I'm ok with how it came out though. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@PhotoBug28 - It was awesome thank you. I would of loved to know more about the movie night, game night ect. I'm planning my first Vancouver to Banff hopefully next month.
@@snoopybluejeans You're welcome! The movie nights and game nights are kind of random- it's planned by the onboard activities staff. They decide and write up a schedule on a dry erase board and post it in the Cafe car. I was always busy looking at the views and filming so I didn't really watch the movies, but I did listen to all the interesting lectures in the observation dome. I hope you're able to do this trip next month! Definitely the experience of a lifetime!
Very nice video Steve, looking forward to traveling on the Canadian this June to Toronto and back.
Thanks for the compliment Niteskate! I hope you have a wonderful trip on the Canadian this June. It will definitely be a memorable trip. I'm so glad I decided to do it!
I did Battle Creak Michigan to West Glacier Park in February... and back. great food and cabin with my 12 year old daughter... my employer provided the funds for thirteen years of service to them. i let my daughter drive our snow mobile up to the top of the mountain. super great trip.
That sounds amazing- I wish I could so something like that! Thank you for sharing your story!
