I like that this video doesn’t have talking it’s very relaxing
I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and thank you for sharing your comment! I don't like the sound of my voice so I decided on captions instead.
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.
@suddenlysolo2170 I hope you have a wonderful time.
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!
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!
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
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
First encounter with touring train videos/didn't know they existed. Will schedule one in the not too distant future.😉
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!
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!
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.
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!
It was my pleasure! Thank you.🇨🇦Cambridge,Ont.
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
Thank you for capturing all that beauty. Also thank you for the peace and quiet, no talking or music. It was a pleasure to watch.
Thanks so much Lisa! I'm really glad you enjoyed watching!
Wonderful! So peaceful and relaxing just to let Canada - often gorgeous - slip by to the hypnotic sound of the train on the tracks. Thank you!
Thank you so much Steve! I'm really glad you enjoyed watching it. I appreciate your comment :)
...Beautiful Train Ride and Trip...!!!!....🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much Hellen! It was such an amazing trip with beautiful scenery! I appreciate your comment :)
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!
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!!
What a staggeringly beautiful country. This is the best train journey video I’ve ever seen, thank you. I’ll watch this again and again🙂xxx
Thank you so much Ronald! That's very kind of you. I'm glad you enjoyed watching 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!
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 :)
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!
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!
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!
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!
You caught all the majestic grandeur of Canada and the unlimited amount of it. Thank you fr that epic journey!
Thanks so much Arch for your kind compliment- that means a lot to me! It's not a professional video but I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
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!
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!
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!
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!
"Absolutely incredible Stream!" Canada is an amazing beautiful country, that is not so
accessible to most Canadians because the Government has never made it a priority to
keep Canadiens at home as opposed to heading to the USA, by marketing Canada more
financially friendly for the average Canadians and their families to visit, learn about and
enjoy and see just how beautiful each Provence and Territories are. Now, just Quebec,
Montreal or Toronto! The incredible views from * THE ROCKIES TO VANCOUVER WERE
STUNNING!* Loved the incredible water fall!....♥️ 🇨🇦
Thanks so much Amgela for your comments! I definitely agree- Canada is an amazingly beautiful country- which could be better marketed by the government. Glad you enjoyed the video!
The thing about trains…
“it’s not about where you’re going, it’s just get on board”
Yes- I definitely agree! Thank you for commenting Bev!
One of the most beautiful train ride🙏
Absolutely! Thank you Marleen for commenting :)
Excellent snapshot of lower berth,stations,stops,dining,service and the trip . It really helps for me to plan my trip.
Thanks so much Mike! I'm glad you found the video useful. I hope you have an incredible trip on the rails!

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!!
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!
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 :)
Absolutely superb film! Thanx for posting. Greetings from America.
Thank you so much Dusty for your kind compliment. I really appreciate it!
Brilliant video, thoroughly enjoyed it, beautiful country🙂 xxxxx
Thank you so much Ronald for watching and commenting. 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 :)
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!
Another fantastic train video! You really know how to let the trip come to the viewer.
Thank you so much William! That really means a lot to me! I'm not a professional TH-camr but I try to make enjoyable interesting videos. I appreciate you watching and commenting :)
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 :)
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!
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!
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.
Thank you so much Surath! I'm just a tourist filming on my phone- not a professional TH-camr. I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
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!
Iam British and did theN Y to Denver Journey on the Zephyr .Loved it !Done the Denver to Salt lake too Equally wonderful. Love the trains lovely staff too
That's wonderful! I loved the Zephyr train as well! Glad you've been able to enjoy these beautiful train routes. Thanks so much Dorothy for watching and commenting. Hope life is good in England!
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!
thanks for sharing, beautiful country we live in
Thanks so much Percy! You're definitely blessed to live in Canada!
Just like the cruise lines, you get breakfast on the departure day...So nice
Yes! I was not expecting that :)
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 :)
Thanks for info on populations along the route..
You're welcome Tim!
Nice scenery, this Pennsylvanian has never been on this route. Always Calgary to Revelstoke. Thanks
Hi Wayne- thank you! Maybe someday you can ride this route on the Canadian, it's incredible. I hope life is good in Pennsylvania!
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!
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! 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 :)
Love that VIA kept the vintage 50s vibes
Me too! Hopefully they will keep these vintage train cars in service for a long time :)
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!
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!!
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!
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!
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 :)
This is definitely on my bucket list. Thanks for taking us along.
You're welcome! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
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!!
Worth view-watching and your time is great and generously spent appreciate it. Happy new year 2024 to you

The best train video yet.
Thank you Martin for the compliment!!
Great video , we did this trip on May 29 in car 117 cabin F. It was awesome as we only had about 7 people in the whole sleeping car .
No problem at all getting a seat in the dome car . The meals and on board staff were amazing .
Thanks so much Mike! Sounds like you did this trip at a great time! It must have been great to avoid the crowds and have so much free space to yourself. It was also a wonderful experience for me, and not too crowded :)

Thanks so much Barb! It was certainly an incredible trip. Glad you've been fortunate enough to travel this area by train too!
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.

Awesome! Thanks from the African continent.

Thank you so much Miss Dashwood! I'm really glad you enjoyed watching it! I appreciate your kind compliments :) Take care!!
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!
Absolutely gorgeous scenery, throughly enjoyable video, thank you
Thank you so much Chris! That compliment means a lot!
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 Jon!
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!
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 :)
Spectacular scenery begins with Jasper.
Definitely! I saved the best part of the route for last. Thanks for watching Janice!
This was Wonderful! Thank You 🙏 So Much! 😊❤

@@kathleenwharton2139 I hope life in good in Arizona! I love seeing all the national parks and desert landscapes there. Very different from the scenery on the Canadian train haha. I'm not a professional TH-camr- just a tourist filming on my phone. But I'm glad you found it enjoyable to watch!

Life in Arizona is Good Now! Summer is Over! Yes..we have some very different landscape from Canada…but Flagstaff and the Mogollon Rim is pretty similar.
Yes that's very true. I plan to do a road trip tp see more parts of Arizona that I haven't seen yet :)@@kathleenwharton2139
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 :)
Fantastic video, I felt like I was on the train. Such beautiful scenery and the train is lovely. Thank you for sharing.🙂❤️
Thanks so much Susie! I'm glad you enjoyed watching!
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 :)
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!
My wife and I are 80. We have had to give up overnight train travel because we cannot climb into an upper berth. When a railroad supplies a true double bed or twin beds at the lower level and at the same price as two berths, then we'll consider a nice long train trip again. Until then, videos like yours will have to do. Of course, we have driven from Winnipeg up the Yellowhead to Jasper and down to Vancouver. So we've seen that same territory.
Yes it's very difficult to climb up to the upper berths- and the sleeper cabins are expensive for most budgets. Hopefully someday they can put in a real double bed on the lower berths. At least you can see the same area by car. Thank you Paul for watching!!
Sir, that is wrong. To many places get away with not accommodating elderly & disabled people. It's truly appalling in 2023 in countries like Canada. And there are more elderly, daily these days, so they say.
Glad your still enjoying traveling as that route is truly beautiful. Cheers.
@@23draft7 agreed. I hope that Via Rail's management will someday make the needed modifications on their trains to make them easily accessible for those with limited mobility!
@@PhotoBug28 hopefully they will do it without human rights getting involved. As we are all getting older 🙂 and will have issues when we do (most). Your travel ways change, and train travel is great unless your elderly or disabled. We're share holders and I am going to being this up. May do nothing but might help a little?? Never know what will help and what won't. Will not know unless you try. By the way, great video. Thanks.
@@23draft7 Thank you so much for the compliment! Perhaps if enough shareholders voice their concerns about this it might help to make some progress. It's definitely worth trying! It's sad how many disabled and elderly people have to miss out on travel due to lack of accessibility. I hope this will improve in the near future! Some countries are much farther behind than others. Wishing all the best for you!!
Train showing its age. Especially the lounges. Food looks amazing! Thanks for the video!!!! (Edit: Except for that tuna melt)
Thanks so much John! Glad you enjoyed the video. I agree about the tuna melt- very underwhelming LOL.
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 :)
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!
Thank you so much for this wonderful video!!!
Thank you so much Connie! I'm really glad you liked it! My next video will be of my 3 week trip in beautiful Germany. I went to 20 cities by train :)
@@PhotoBug28 can't wait to see that one. Germany is not what it used to be 😭
@@Christin5554 Yes I'm sure that's true. But I had a great time in Germany anyway :)
Awesome video of a beautiful country.
Thanks so much Jim! The beauty of Canada from this train was stunning!
Wonderful vídeo! Thank You for sharing. I simply travelled across Canada !
Thank you for the compliment Chris! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Adding another comment Steve. I travelled on the last two steam engines from Edmonton to Vancouvre in 1952.
And across Canada Edmonton to North Bay in 1965, for collage. Four trips. Not one on time. One was 1/2 a day late into Edmonton. Another left Winnipeg with no diner car. That's a hungry trip across Northern Ontario.
Wow- that's incredible! I wish I could travel back in time and ride that route on a steam engine! Frequent delays are still common- but a half day ?! Thank you for sharing you story!!
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!
Thanks for the ride,,it was very cool I really enjoyed it !! Grate video
Thanks so much Carl! I'm really glad you enjoyed watching! Take care :)
Thanks a lot for such a beautiful video.
You're welcome Mohak! I really appreciate your compliment!
