How long with train from Toronto to Vancouver ?? Love the view

Love the view

I took this trip in January 1965. Glad I bought a “one way” ticket. Once I arrived in Vancouver I knew that is where I wanted to live forever. May decide to do Vancouver-Toronto on my 100th birthday and fly back to Vancouver
Why not just go round-trip by rail? Treat yourself!
travel across Canada since, you’ll be more than half way done going to Van-Tor
Pro Gamer_21 asshole
@@kai_b1156 Hey, don't be so mean! I plan to do this trip on my 130th birthday!
Pro Gamer_21 fuck off lmao
I will never forget this trip... Almost two years ago I took this train from Toronto to Vancouver and it was simply amazing. Being in a single room, with no distractions, a heater, toilet, sink and my own bed made the trip so accommodating. Waking up in the middle of the night to the moon shining through the northern Ontario pine trees, knowing you’re in the middle of nowhere yet amongst others just makes it much more comforting.
I recommend this to everyone, you’ll spend 5 days on this train and you won’t regret a single moment. It will also make you appreciate this country a lot more, we have such a beautiful wilderness that’s still untouched and hopefully it will always stay that way.
It looks like it'd be a lovely trip
It’s looks lovely. I want to go too someday. Is the food too expensive?
Did you do a round trip train ride? What month did you travel in and did they restrict items like when you fly, thank you
@@st4rstuck If you happen to get a sleeper class then the food will be absolutely free! Economy class will not provide free food but I believe there is a food vendor in one of the carts.
@@sunshinem3958 I did a one-way trip and there are certain things you cannot bring on the train but I was able to bring a lot of snacks and I don't remember a 100ml liquid limit, the rules are much more lenient compared to air travel. When it came to food, it must not be a food you have to refrigerate or heat up.
This website should answer all your questions: www.viarail.ca/en/travel-info/baggage.
I hope you end up taking the trip!
What an impressive video, not too long, not too short. Beautiful/stable video with subtle descriptions, plus no voice over, no music, just plain raw sound (love that). Enjoy every second of it. Thank you.
Pls i want to come there so hw will this be possible
@@oseitutusophia4223 you can take a travel visa.. if you want to live long term.. you can apply permanent residency.. it has some criteria you need to qualify for.. google canadian PR..
I made this trip 60 years ago as a new immigrant.......there were no sleeping cars......I sat up most of the way sometimes with some middleaged men we tried some conversation.my English was limited, my companions were most friendly, I just smiled.......in my view Canada is the best country in the world in which to live......coming from the Netherlans, which is very small, I am fortunate and thankfull to be a Canadian citizen.........
Man, 1.5 days just to get out of Ontario, sometimes I forget how huge our country is.
Or how undeveloped our train system is
@Predrag Jovanovic if you hate fast trains. use cow instead.
4 days but Purolator and UPS can travel that distance in half that time. makes no sense to me.
That's from Toronto. From the Quebec border to Manitoba border, it is 3-4 days travelling by car on the Trans Canada Highway.
@@SimilakChild UPS has a fleet of 258 cargo jetliners, in case you are wondering.
Thank you SO MUCH for not putting music or a voiceover on top of this awesome footage 💕
Hey, I also made a video of my trip (same route only during winter). I saw your comment when I was making my video so I also didn't put any music or voiceover on my video. Can you please check it out and tell me what you think? Thanks

Great trip , ( on my bucket list ) , after the end of the pandemic !
I love Canada.its a beautiful country.the people are so warm,kind n caring.i have visited Canada many times.I went to Vancouver n Victoria,Bc.after this pandemic i wanna comeback n i wanna go to Toronto from Vancouver i 'll try to take a train ride.God willing.
Canada probably won't let us in until after there is a vaccine which CDC just said won't be available until 3rd qtr 2021. A long time away.

Wife & I took the Canadian from Toronto to Vancouver a few years ago. Great trip, great people and a wonderful country. God bless Canada.
Did anyone randomly get this in their recommendation? 😳
James Li yes lol, but it’s nice to see
Yap, but it helped.
Probably. Last time I searched for train travel was a couple years ago. I did think it was odd but at the same time not really.
Yes. So glad for this recommendation.
Lol yes just now
Thanks for the memories. A single 23 year old immigrant from England, I took the train in April 1966 to Vancouver (4 days) after a horrible crossing (force 7 gale) , arriving a day late in Montréal and missing a layover night at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel. Arrived in Vancouver with $400, no job, nowhere to stay. Six months later was in Vernon, BC working for The Bay. Been a Canadian citizen ever since, but living now in Vermont. In those days the train went through Calgary, Banff, the Kicking Horse Tunnels, Rockies, Salmon Arm, Kamloops, Fraser Canyon, Hope to Van.
You must have some stories to tell!!!
Hi James jist posted my story should read it.I arrived in Vanc., on a Sat afternoon with $26, ended up staying in the Balmoral for 2 days it was better back then.
JAMES Rivis thanks for sharing a little part of Canadian history with us!
Yes, living in Vermont would be awesome, but difficult for most Canadian citizens..
👋👋👋🤭 It`s been a long times.
You must have amazing story.
Wow, I've taken the VIA Rail Canadian line from Toronto to Vancouver and it is an amazing experience. The views on the journey are breathtaking!
Can i know what is the ticket price for 1person
With the dome cars and the scenery this is probably the greatest train ride in the world. We took it from Toronto to Jasper several years ago.
I've done this trip back and forth a couple times. The sheer vastness of Canada is stunning, not to mention the beauty and emptiness of so much of it. And there is nothing more wonderful that to lie in a bed and be rocked to sleep by the train's motion as the moon shines through your window across Lake Superior.
@@theodosios2615 Not sure it matters but east to west means that you have the final leg through the Rockies, which is the highlight of the trip.
Dont you agree
We have beautiful country
Love from Montreal Quebec:)
It really is 🥺Montreal is gorgeous by the way. I've had the pleasure of visiting it from Toronto, and I loved it. Would love to visit again soon. Take care, friend.
Le pays, l'une des plus grandes au monde qu'on se trouve ici mais je respecte quand même le patience de l'homme qui a embarqué cette parcours.
@Jayden YES.
@Jayden Yes. No.
I’m Mexican I’ll be in USA but I watching a lot of videos in TH-cam about Canada and I’m sure Canada is the best country in the world
Simply beautiful… the nostalgia of a slow moving train going through such wonderful lands is definitely a must
Canada has some of the most beautiful scenery...
💯 agreed. I drove from Toronto to Golden B.C. a few years back. That will give you a whole new perspective as well. Driving through Ontario. You don't realize what a uphill drive it is from Sault Ste Marie to Thunderbay. All the while admiring the forests and shield. The rockies were gorgeous too. Natural waterfalls right by the side of the road.
@@KH-nt7ej That sounds like a dream, honestly....
I've never taken a train through the mountains but I've driven between Vancouver and Edmonton/Calgary over a dozen times and up to Yellowknife a couple of times, it's the most beautiful scenery in the world.
ᕼᑌᗰᗩᑎ ᖴᗴᒪᒪᗩ ay shoutout Yellowknife!! Where I’m living lol
@Wake Up! jes thats like half the population each year
You need to travel more in the world to give such a statement my dear. You obviously haven't
Agreed. I live in NYC now but will never forget working in Banff back in 98 during the summers. There is nothing like that drive you mention. Breathtaking. Waiting til my kids a little bit older to take them out there
this guy got here in 16 minutes and 27 seconds that's crazy
hol up
I’m waiting for the woooosh
i just know someone's gonna get woooshed
high speed rail
To heck with flying... I am taking the train next time.
I did this trip with my mom in 2014. She has passed on. I'm glad I got to experience this with her. I'll never ever forget it. It was beautiful.
TH-cam algorithm bring me here. This is one of my dream. Thank you for sharing beautiful travel 💖
In 2008 my wife and I took this train when we moved from toronto to vancouver island. Wonderful trip.
We did the sleeper class. It was comfortable. The folks in economy were pretty uncomfortable by the fourth day though, and they didn’t have shower access. Recommend sleeper class if you can do it.
We took two dogs and two cats with us. The staff was great about it and we could access baggage every 8 hours to take the dogs out to pee. The pets were relaxed the whole trip, and the staff kept the entire car heated. This was in late October.
Didn't know pets were allowed. How did your Cats behave on the train? Did you guys bring your cat's litter box with you?
Thanks for the memories. I took the train from Halifax to Montreal, then we took the 'Centennial' train from Montreal to Vancouver, this was in 1967 centennial year for Canada. A trip that I will never forget. Cheers
Canada is the most beautiful country I've ever seen ! The people are so nice too
trust me not everyone is
@@skylarwright3493 Just like humans all over the world --- some good, some bad. Canadians are pretty nice overall though; usually friendly and helpful when we asked questions and asked us if we needed directions when we were looking at maps or street signs.
This video reminds me the same experience but was 22 yrs ago when I 1st arrived Canada. I remembered the fees was 5 times of the flight fees because I booked the ticket just 1 day before the depart of the train. Now I settled down in Vancouver. I like our beautiful Country. Thanks for sharing.
I am from the UK and visited Alberta 40 years ago, it made an impression on me then as this video has today. What a beautiful country you have, I doubt I will visit again but one can hope anyway thanks for posting this video.
He's a Brit too...
And a mancunian with mouth agape at the scenery...
may i know how old are you now?
@@vinuv16 I am 72 years young and my mind tells me I am 36.!!!
@@lynnemorris7516 No reason you can't visit Canada again, if your mind tells you you're 36 than you're 36. Time is fleeting, don't have any regrets while we're here.
Thank you Mark for such a detailed video of all classes on the train, this lets me know what i want to take and not many bloggers give such information and its so helpful, enjoy the rest of your trip
i'd go for this trip not for a destination, but simply for a journey itself. Awesome
thank you for this amazing video. It was like being there in person. Especially the fact you didn't add music on top.
Canada's green environment and overall the scenery for that greenery is worth talking about and taking a trip across.
It's so cool to see how much the landscape changes in our beautiful country.
Hi jenny reed how r u dear
@Jenny Reed....train travel is the only way to see Canada in my opinion! And I mean actually SEE it and not fly OVER it !
Canada train video very nice like it I am from India
Really liked the video, so much appreciated the lack of commentary and music, allowing us to see and hear the railroad sound, see the beautiful scenery and experience a snapshot of the trip allowing us to enjoy it as it is without being told how much we should enjoy it.
I done that journey several years ago. Had a single sleeper cabin. Had to pull the bed up to get to the toilet in the night! Job sleeping on it at night. The food in the restaurant is very good. You get called to meals and very do often have to put clocks and watches back one hour. I thoroughly recommend this trip.
We did this trip two weeks ago! Absolutely amazing! We slept in the upper and lower berth in the corridor, ad it was fully acceptable. No worries..
But the food... fantastic! Imagine to cook that kind of meals when the kitchen is constatly moving.
Great movie, I experienced the trip all over again! Thanks...
And to those who are thinking of going... just do it! It is amazing! We came all the way from Sweden to do it, and we are already planning the next train experience.
Michael Fogelström thank you for your encouragement! Love from Malaysia ❤️❤️
You are making us so tempted. We feel so bad, we live here and haven't done it yet!😃
@@spendingtimetogether8428 That's because the average Canadian can't afford it. I can have a great vacation in Europe for the same price....
@@annekennedy8127 Oh, I have no idea how much it costs, but if you say it's the same as an Eurotrip, that's quite steep.
the upper and lower berths are the most comfortable beds on the train
Omg I live in Toronto and did t even know anything like this existed! This looks like SO much fun...I don't even care were I go, lol. I just want to spend the night on a train. The nature is beautiful ❤
Torontonians think Canada ends at the edges of the GTA.
@@TheOwenMajor Ya...no we don't....and not sure what that has to do with a TRAIN....but thanks for your attitude, hope that works out for ya 👍
Owen Major so true
Owen Major We actually don’t lmao most of us in Toronto can’t afford to explore the rest of the country considering how expensive the cost of living is in TO itself, it’s not for lack of interest at all. chill w the attitude if you’re not from here pal
They really do - I’m there enough doing business. The majority of people living in the GTA think they are the centre of the universe.
While I will say the interior of the train looks a bit dated, Canada’s terrain is drop dead gorgeous
We travelled eastward in 2003 and in 2014. I'd say the refreshed interior (and exterior) is authentic 1955-premium and is drop dead gorgeous, while the scenery, although it looks a bit dated, is drop dead gorgeous.
@@gouldney1 i actually worked on that renovation project, glad you enjoyed it
@@MHistheDesden you did beautiful work, I appreciate the workmanship on the 'last of the heavyweights'!
Masks are mandatory
I actually like the interior
To look and know how beautiful Canada is every one should take this trip once. Beautiful long live canada. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Canada should invest into high-speed trains from coast-to-coast, seriously.
Aman Jassal Amen! The country is so big, having slow trains (like we have now) is ridiculous.
Aman Jassal why that would defeat the purpose
That would be a huge waste of money. Imagine building high speed rail that people would barely use through the Canadian Shield, the prairies and the Rockies. It would be expensive, take years and working conditions would suck, especially in B.C and Northern Ontario
Maybe if we had 1 billion more people
The government would miss out on tax dollars from gas stations.
Canada’s beauty cannot be described with words! I look forward to living there someday.
We got enough people here. We don’t need you. Stay where you are.
@@ibuy4unow Don't worry I won't be going near you and for good reason :)
Well i for one welcome you with open arms!
I welcome you also.
@@shelaghmckenna2667 - You don’t even know who your “welcoming” idiot...
I've taken this trip twice. Once going from Vancouver to Toronto in the summer of 1982, the other time going back the other way but at the height of winter in 1993 (when the fare is almost half price). On the summer trip they still used a car at the end, what you call the Park car in this video, that had an outside platform big enough for a couple of seats. It's too bad they don't use those cars now. Sitting at the back watching Winnipeg recede as the sunset was one of the best memories of my life.
Gteat to know🙏🙏🙏🌷
Took this trip from London to Vancouver in early 70's. Scenery was beautiful
I did this trip in 2007, in a Silver Leaf single room. one of the most memorable things I have done.
Yes No sorry I don’t remember, but it was worth it. I booked directly with ViaRail.
Cost is between 1500/2500 depending on accomadations and time of year. It's all on google
Wow! I'm an American - this has just been added to my travel bucket list: Trans-Canadian rail journey.
Aug. 12, 2020
• I’m having goosebumps watching this. Wow, such scenery and peacefulness of it.
I don’t know how old this tape is, but those cars look like what they used for the Ocean route back in the 80’s-90’s
My daughter and I did that route from Halifax to Montreal for 10 years 4 times a year. It was a great for small children because they had child
programs like , movies, crafts, snacks, for free.
Miss those years. ☺️
Outstanding! Such gorgeous scenery. This has always been my dream trip on a train. How lucky you were to be able to experience this! Take care and Happy Travels!
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for NOT adding music.
I miss you talking, BUT I can READ!
I did that trip and it was lovely! So good to sleep and then wake up to the Canadian landscapes🥰 Meals were great and staff so attentive! So relaxing and yet I had so much fun! Thank you, Via rail! I will travel again, this time to the rockies!
I love taking Via train whenever I visit my son and his family in Quebec, less stressful than driving my car. ❤️
What a beautiful country we have!
10:56 It really looks like a painting. So beautiful!
I’m a new Canadian and so so grateful to live here!
Trudeau let you in?
Welcome! Not-so-new-anymore Canadian
As a kid in the 1960’s, when trains were more affordable, my family made this trip three times and back. Back then, CN covered most of this route, starting in Montreal ( where we lived), and traversing through Algonquin Park to Ottawa, Pembroke, North Bay, and then to Capreol, where we joined with another train from Toronto. The rest of the route is the same. So now it seems that the CP cars are used along most of the old CN route. Still, with the changes, this video brought back such memories for me. I was so lucky to travel this way as a kid, and also twice by train to PEI. Great times!
This was a blast from the past! I did this trip in September 1978 - it was undoubtedly one of the best experiences of my life. There were a few differences - I left from Montreal, the train was older and didn't seem as quiet as this one appears to be. I slept in a lower berth in a sleeping car - very comfortable. However, I had no access to a shower the entire time. The food on this train appears to be a bit better than what I experienced, although it was by no means not tasty. The scenery was every bit as stunning, however the city of Vancouver has certainly undergone a major metamorphosis in 41 years! I would recommend this trip to anyone and everyone and should be a requirement on the Bucket List of one and all.
@@LifeOdysseyMotivation Excuse me?
I praised the trip then and stated that it appears as wonderful now, or maybe even better in some respects (updated train, perhaps better food now).
No, I am not out of mind - are you?
oh my god, this video gives me so many flashbacks when I was a kid. I used to ride this train to Toronto every year till 2016
you must be rich. The price of it cannot be higher.
Wonderful video! I especially appreciate your editing. Perfect shots with just the right amount of time on each view. Letting the views and natural sounds of the train speak for themselves instead of non-stop commentary or background music made your video wonderfully enjoyable! Thanks for letting me travel vicariously through you.
Thank you so much for posting this. My mother and I took this same trip in 1954 moving from Toronto to Vancouver, a childhood memory that is very dear to me....thank you
I took this train last Christmas, bought the upper berth ticket on November for only around $840. It was a really nice experience and I won't forget for my lifetime.
The train delayed for more than 12 hours, so be patient, enjoy the view and the wonderful food and people on the way.
Ive wanted to do this! Ive done something similar in the U.S going from Chicago to Reno, NV. The train was delayed by 72hrs so 12 doesnt seem as bad! The Desert and Rockies were amazing on a train!
Are those meals paid ?
@@chandanmalhotra7626 Generally they are separate from just the ticket.
@@bok.. thanks 😊
@@chandanmalhotra7626 have to purchase all food and drink on train... pricey
The most beautiful scenery - a feast for the eyes + a wonderful train journey in every sense. Thank you!
My daughter took this trip and only paid $150 a few years ago. She stopped off in every province and loved it. The trip back was all in one go but she met a lot of friends and had a fantastic time.
Took the train from Quebec City to Calgary in 1967. Two days and two nights...My first week in Canada as a newly arrived 18 year old immigrant. What an adventure! No cabin for me though, so no fancy dining car. Just a few sandwiches and lousy coffee....But the scenery made up for it.
I live in Canada and I didn’t realize how beautiful it was
@Mohamed Isapedo you're one to talk bud
so beautiful!!🤭🤭🤭
Don't worry it's being ruined on a daily basis!
Meyer Mica Canada is so big that there is so many different kinds of places that is beautiful and where I live, I just got so used to it that it’s not like it feels so special Anymore but I’m sure if I go travel to a completely new part of Canada, then I’m sure it will make me surprised how beautiful it is as well:)
@Meyer Mica can you invite me there?
The scenery was spectacular.
This train is on my bucket list.
Wow...i'd say so too....Makes me dream big time. Our country is too beautiful and so wide. Hello from Saguenay, Quebec:)

This train journey across Canada is spectacular. Finest natural scenes and scenery right from Ontario through to Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, the famed Rocky Mountains and upto THE BEAUTIFUL BRITISH COLUMBIA ; this is in fact a DREAM COME TRUE JOURNEY.
👌👌👍👍
I did this journey in 1989 and loved every second of it!
I love trains since childhood...
Everytime I see a video from you...i get an auromatic smile on my face ...am grateful to you...thanks a lot
I thought u said erotic for a second!
I did this trip when I was 5 years old , I’m 55 now and one of the most memorable trips of my life !
My parent and I had our own room with lavatory. I remember the porter coming at night to prepare the beds.
The sky view cars where amazing to sit and take in this very flat country until you hit the Rockies.
It’s good to see it’s back in operation. A must for all Canadians.
What a journey! I hope to make this trip one day. Thank you for inspiring me, even more, to come to Canada.
The carriages are still those of the 50's? And it charges 10 times for the ticket? Now!?
I live in Canada 🇨🇦 for the past 13 years, I didn’t even know that such train route existed.
its government top secret, cuz its gonna be suffering on a train for a week
flyin' K 😂
@Philip Barnard this train isn't about the destination, but the journey. And quite the journey if you ask me...
@Philip Barnard Sounds good to me, it's all about a person's preference.
@@barvdw I can only agree with you...I wanna take that train so bad...just to live it. But heck, i can't pay that much..:(

My goodness man Canada is beautiful.
Not in the good old Saskatchewan
Canada is beautiful but only british columbia is entitled beautiful british columbua
This was really soothing to watch!
wow Canada i love you so much long live Canada so beautiful i am from japan
so sweet
My wife and I took the trip three years ago but we started in Vancouver so that we would pass through the Rockies in daylight. We enjoyed it immensely, even the long waits, waiting for freight trains to pass us. Food, staff, and our room were wonderful. Even not having internet access was as blessing.
An excellent video - thanks for posting it!
I took this trip in 2013 and highly recommend it.
I had a Sleeper Plus compartment (it's bigger than it looks in the video) which was very comfortable. The food was excellent; I met and enjoyed the company of some wonderful people, both crew and passengers, and experienced some of the most amazing scenery in the world.
A vacation in itself, I hope to make the trip again some day (if the pandemic subsides), and I encourage anybody who's considering it to go for it - it's unforgettable!
This is the closest to luxury as I can get watching your videos. Love the secneries!
Such a beautiful land! Thank you for sharing this with us!
Followed this same journey in October 1966 with my parents and siblings. Vancouver has been home ever since. One day, it would be nice to do it again.
The train is passing through heaven 🥰🥰
Thank you very much for taking me with you to this beautiful dreamt trip to Vancouver from... No, not from Toronto but from Ludhiana (India) . Luv ❤😘 it.
Canada needs high speed rail network connecting East to West coast. Would be much time saving and economically beneficial in future. Beautiful Journey indeed ♥️👍🏻
Agrée, but not enough population in Canada to be rental! The Canadian Gouvernement decided to get more frequent trains instead but only between few main cities. No High Speed trains for many, many years +50! 😠 Grrrr!
Whoever wants to save time will go to the airport instead
Just take 5 hours from Toronto to BC
High speed rail through British Columbia would be absurdly expensive.

Just watched 3 off your train travel films. They are the best. No comments just let the pictures tell the story. Thanks for sharing.
Another one to add to the never ending bucket list. Brilliant video.
I took this trip back in 2004 with my parents. We went in late October so dad could leaf-peep. Alas, the only changed leafs we saw were outside of Toronto. Still, the entire journey was breath-taking and a lot of fun. Although the Amtrak cars were more modern (built in the 70's I think), I much preferred these cars to those. My parents were in a double and I was in a single "next door" to them. I preferred the single; very comfy bed and it was great to raise the blind after waking up to see a wooded island with mist coming off of the water. :-)
I took this train a few years ago in Fall. We left Toronto about 12 hours later than you did. I got great views of the Rockies but had to wake up to see the spectacular Fraser River in the moonlight. A wonderful trip!
I took this trip with my sister over 40 years ago. It was an awesome trip and I would love to repeat it.
I left my home in Toronto in July 1974 on the Canadian and this was a wonderful remembrance of that trip. Sadly, I was in the cheap seats.
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing! Will make this trip one day in sha Allah. Also, thank you for not drowning out the natural sounds! Much appreciated,
Excellent! Thank you for all the detailed information, awesome train ride! Thank you.
I am in love with the classic feel to this train set. Would love to take a trip on this. Brings you back to the 1950s almost classic feel.
Did this trip soon out of high school the opposite way of this video when prices were reasonable. I'll never forget it!
have you any idea about the updated price of a round trip ticket please?
@@jerbiSofiene Depending on the season, one way this time of year is about $500.00 CDN. economy and up to a $1000.00 for a sleeper Vancouver to Toronto. But double check this to be sure!
Someone should show these shots of the diner and lounge cars to the president of Amtrak so he could see how to run a rail road.
That is different. You take Amtak for work and business. You take PC as excursion. That is why VIA rail ticket price is expensive as hell. Now I see why... And believe me, I want a trip like this for my family as well.
@@user-jh6vt8vx4v I rode amtrak as an excursion, rode it for work, rode it becuase planes make me sick, now I cant even eat a meal on the train im on for 2 days. Its stupid.
The government keeps cutting their funding.
Watching this made me sad for Amtrak though; it's so shabby now. The first trip I took had actual food made downstairs in the dining car. Real silverware, coffee cups and plates; now it's all microwaved slop served on plastic. Very sad really.
This isn't a regular train, its an event. Does the cook break out a guitar during dinner on the amtrack? They did on The Canadian when I took it lol.
I agree because I think we'll live to see the end of any major passenger rail service here in America let's hope via recognizes the historical significance of what they're doing with these trains and let that be what brings their revenue because what they have and what they're doing is very special because no other passenger Railroad in America uses vintage equipment anymore via as far as I know is the only one that does
Thank you for sharing and taking us along on your journey! Loved your videography as well.
Back in 1976, a trip from Toronto Union Station to the same in Winnepeg took 4 days (3 nights).
These coaches have been on the go since the mid 50 's... They still look fresh and current... I hope they can keep them rolling another 50 years... I've been across Canada on this train, on its' sister ' train, the dominion.. In 65..and in 69 our entire grade 7 class took the CN transcontinental Vancouver to Montreal... A trip I'll never forget... All parts of Canada are amazing to see
Those Rocky Mountains are just gorgeous, I can only imagine to see them in person! ❤️
I've climbed them! Amazing!
I've done the train & it is gorgeous, but, I like a motorcycle trip better you can ride north, south, east & west & see a much more varied slice of the country especially with no time constraints, so you find a hot spring(my favorite) you like, stay for a day or two, I've seen bears, elk, deer, moose, beaver, eagles, mountain goats, actually too many animals to list, it's a great country to get to know, of course, I'm biased as I'm Canadian...
The Mountain views at around the 11:00 were amazing. i cant imagine how much better they were in person. Great Video overall, thanks.
i did this in 2006, one of the best experiences of my life.
Wow, this is beautiful. When I was younger I thought this was a waste of time, but I have now added it to my Bucket List. I have also done the Rocky Mountaineer trip from Calgary to Vancouver and that was fabulous.
