    My son James and I traveled from Kingston, Ontario to Moncton, New Brunswick on via rail. The service was superb. The via employees are one of a kind.

    I took this route 20 years ago Economy Class. It was an experience I will never forget. Police came on at one stop to take off a drunk passenger who had barfed on the floor. Great video!

    Flying is a way to get there, as is crawling over broken glass. Taking the train, dining at a table and sleeping in
    a bed, are a part of the experience

    A lot of fun though.

    Nicely done! You've hit the high points of the trip and provided great memories of my trip to Halifax taken last week (Oct 14-18, 2018) on The Ocean. Nothing much has changed since 2015, even the menu looks the same, but it was certainly a memorable journey. Thanks for posting the video.

    Great video. I have travelled on "The Canadian'" 25 times since 1964 (both ways). About 2000 or so I went all the way from Vancouver to Halifax & that year they were trying out a once a week train from Halifax to Sydney,NS that included a Park car. It went to Sydney 1 day & returned the next. Discontinued after only 2 or 3 yrs as I recall. The Park cars & most of the cars on The Canadian were built in 1954 & still operate after 60+ years. BTW original artwork from the "Group of Seven" painters was hung on the wall in the bar under the dome in Park cars & they allowed smoking in the early years. I have never been on the Renasance cars.

    In August of 1977 I rode the Train from Vancouver to Montreal, memorable days. I was returning to school at the University of New Hampshire after visiting my relatives in British Columbia. I had about 6 hours in Montreal and really enjoyed exploring the City. From there the bus to Concord NH and then hitch hiked the last 40 miles to Durham since there was no public transportation available.
    I at last get to see the remainder of the transcontinental railroad, so beautiful and filled with history. Thank You for sharing your journey.
    Does the train go further into Newfoundland? I met a young woman from there on the train who wrote me a couple of letters. I think that is how she was getting home.
    She made me realize just how vast Canada is alas too far a distance even for my heart strings.(and she was very pretty) But that was how I journeyed to New Hampshire and that flame had flickered out, C"est la Vie.

    I took this once - economy class - about 10 years ago. A trip I'll never forget!

    Fantastic footage Mr Seat 61! Except the day car at the rear these Renaissance cars were originally built by BREL Derby for the projected Channel Tunnel night services from Manchester, Birmingham, Plymouth, Glasgow etc thru to Paris, Brussels etc. Sadly this project never took off as cheap flights killed off this potential market. The cars were put into storage for some time, several were cut up, and the rest sold off to VIA rail as we can see in this excellent video. The cars were a model between the BR Mark III and Mark IV design, because of their heavy weight and intercontinental voltage issues a barrier car (Ex-Mark III sleeper) was added to each rake as a generator van. but looking at the sleeper cabins and spacious car interiors this is a great shame on what we missed out here in the UK but thankful these rakes have a new life traveling along a most beautiful route.

    I will be doing this trip, Halifax to Toronto, in November. I'm writing a book, and my main character is an actor who is afraid of flying, so he goes by train everywhere - even between filming locations in Canada. He is supposed to be super stressed about it, but watching this video I'm now like "hey, this is super chill" ;) I will be doing a lot of writing on board, and I just can't wait :)

    Thank you for your video! Nicely edited as I'm sure you have hours more footage. We have traveled to Halifax by ferry/car from Portland back in 2001. I would now like to go by means of rail via NY - Montreal - Halifax. It may be a while however seeing your superb video is a nice substitute ... for now.
    I think all of Canada is beautiful and worth visiting if not moving to.

    Thank for making this video. I was confused which one to choose between sleeper plus and economy class. This video does explain in details a lot.

    Vis Really has it together. I have taken this train within Nova Scotia from the North to Halifax and another line round trip from Montreal to Quebec City.
