Thanks you so much for this. Nicely done visuals and music. I’m taking my daughter from Vancouver to Halifax with 3 day stops in Winnipeg, Toronto, Montreal and Halifax. Hope we make it all the way by train but I know that there may be problems along the way. You folks have me pumped for this trip now which doesn’t start till last week of April 2025. Thanks again for a lovely presentation.
Thanks for posting... every video that anybody posts on YT is giving this train much needed and deserved publicity! I'm glad, look like you folks had a wonderful trip... pretty hard not to do though on that train 😂
Thanks Daniel. It looks so different in the snow. Lovely music. We stayed at the Fairmont in Toronto, Jasper Park Lodge and in Coal Harbour Vancouver. Nice to see all this again. We didn't see mountains much from the train due to wildfires. We travelled back to Jasper by car from Prince George, onto Banff and then flew home to France from Calgary. For us, last May, there was another carriage behind the Park Car which spoiled the view. It's good to see you views out the back.
Thank you very much for your video. We are planning a trip next year in Prestige and you video answered many questions. Also, your 3 day stop in Jasper, although not your intention, was a great addition! (BTW, your music selection was right up my alley!!) Cheers!!
Thanks for the vid. I'm going from Edmonton to Toronto return this November and really looking forward to it. I can't afford prestige and do not see the value of travelling 'Prestige' class versus my chosen 'Sleeper Plus' in a cabin for 1 as I'm travelling alone.
It's the cheapest mode of transportation in Canada, not even half the price of the average airfare from Vancouver to Toronto. Driving tends to be expensive these days as well, taking the train is the best option really.
@@thompsonriverrailfan It is not the cheapest mode of transportation. A one-way flight to Vancouver is usually around $200-300 while the cheapest economy fare is $400-600 and even higher for summer. Also sleeper plus is the way to go and that's $600-4000.
If you need to get from A to B then fly. But if you want to enjoy the beautiful Canadian landscape And you want to destress from the fast pace then the train is the only way to go.
Thank you, really enjoyed your video it brought back memories of my trip back in June, It is too bad that you missed the last part of the journey, I did the round trip from Vancouver. We almost didn't get to leave because of the forest fire situation at Edson Alberta.
I did this trip several times many years ago, the first time in the 40's (I was only 2 years old but remember being in a berth with my mom) and the last time in the 80's. There were no passenger showers then but it was still a wonderful experience. I'm planning to do it one more time, hopefully this year. My dream is to book the Prestige cabin but I'll probably end up with a roomette for one. :(.
I agree with The previous person i/e the music, but I'm ignoring that & am engrossed by the beaut snowfield landscapes. We, in SA, have never seen such beauty!! Also the written footnotes stay on screen long (& large) enough 4 a slow reader 2 manage.
In 1968 I got a job as fifth cook in the diner on The Canadian. The train was operated by Canadian Pacific and used its own line instead of the Canadian National line which VIA now uses. Part of the CP line passes along the scenic and rocky north shore of Lake Superior and is far more interesting than the CN which goes through northern Ontario. There's not much to see on this line except trees and a few lakes.
see you took the prestige class juding by the room. you do need to talk, more important than the music, show us the menus, tell us what you ordered. some insight into what we are looking at. please do some talking. your photography is good. thanks.
What a beautiful vidio!!! Most enjoyable!! @ least 1 sees the scenery & everything's not centred on food & drink!!! Thank a lot!!!

Did you used to stop at Rossport, ON to pick up fresh Lake Superior lake trout?

I loved all of it except for muting out Neil Young for personal reasons.
Unfortunately, the music is a distraction.
The music ruined it for me. I'd rather have some narration describing the places visited.
Music too loud. You need to replace music with an audio narration. Not worth watching even the first five minutes!

Me and my brother were on that train we are in the business class lounge👍👍
Well that's very cool.
