We rode this train from Toronto to Vancouver and back in 2005 and again in 2023, was going to do it again in 2024 but came down with COVID and had to cancel. Amazing trip.

I notice that there are some shots with 3 engines and that 2 all in Vancouver , whats up ?

@seannelson1545 4 ай бұрын

I'm guessing that they add another locomotive to the consist when they have a need to move it somewhere for some reason. They don't just send a single locomotive down the tracks on its own.

Do you have any video footages of the Cassiar/Rupert diversion intersection?

Hearing this noise on my bolt. Was it just the hatch bumpers or did it end up being something else like sway bars/bushings etc?

Good video. You must have done this over a fair amount of time judging by locomotive changes up front. I still find it ridiculous that VIA didn’t leave Vcr in the morning so it travels the Fraser Canyon in the daytime and arrive in Toronto. In the dark. No comparison on scenery.

In October 2021, I finally did Vancouver to Toronto on the Canadian. Loved it! Not once was I bored. I would happily do it again in either direction. This time I'll see if I can get a Sleeper Plus Deal.

It's unfortunate that people in southern Saskatchewan no longer have access to VIA Rail. I'm not criticizing the Rockey Mountaineer or Royal Canadian folks but...🙁

The Prius is very different than the Prius C. You may be able to install a block heater into a Prius, but this video won't tell you how.

What determines the use of 2 vs 3 engines?

@seannelson1545 2 жыл бұрын

I'm no railway expert, but I imagine that they'd add an extra locomotive in order to relocate it if their operational plan required them to have more power available elsewhere. Maintenance requirements, either scheduled or otherwise, might also cause them to haul an extra locomotive to a location where it could be serviced.

@seannelson1545 3 жыл бұрын

Originally in 1955 when the equipment for The Canadian was first purchased by Canadian Pacific they bought enough rolling stock to make up 18 complete trainsets. That let them run a train every day in both directions, with split service to both Toronto and Montreal, with enough left over for spares and cleaning during layovers. That's been whittled down over the years as equipment was spun off to other trains such as The Ocean, suffered damage from accidents, or simply deemed to be surplus to needs. Now they run only 3 weekly trains in each direction (although they're longer than the original The Canadian consists) and based on the variety of Park cars I've seen on the route I'd guess they have enough equipment for just 6 trainsets.

@seannelson1545 3 жыл бұрын

That's like saying Princess Cruise Lines should run a ferry service across San Francisco Bay. The Canadian is a transcontinental tourist train, not a commuter rail service. There are other services which do that, such as the West Coast Express here in Vancouver and Toronto's Go trains.

This's Great!! I've ever taken the trains from Shangahai-Beijing-Moscow-Kiev-Berlin-and-to-Hamburg via the Trans Siberian Railway in March 31 years ago, and the train "The Corridor connecting The Canadian" from Montreal-transfering-in-Toronto-stopping-over-Edmonton-and-to-Vancouver of VIA RAILdu Canada en avril il y a 30 ans. Next time Ing'd like to the Canadian again from Vancouver to Montreal. Merci, Thank.
