5 Days on Canada’s Greatest Sleeper Train | The Canadian | Toronto-Vancouver (Part 1/2)

[@wisecanadianwoman]

I am Canadian and I am so embarrassed by the state of our railway system. I live in Calgary and have often wanted to take the Canadian Express across the country, but refuse to pay the riduculous price for such poor accomodations. This is why I love to watch your videos. Japan has a far better system then those here in North America and certainly Canada. However, I am so glad you decided to come to Canada. We have such a beautiful country and I am proud to say that I live here. Thanks for sharing. ❤

[@luisgomez8774]

I was calculating the price of The Canadian trip ticket and if we compare it with the first class room of the Sunrise Express in Japan they are quite similar (It should also be added that in the sleeper class of The Canadian it includes meals, while in the Sunrise Express it does not ) In addition, the distance of the trip is four times longer than the trips through Japan. What if I agree with you is the poor infrastructure that exists for passenger train travel in Canada, unlike in Japan (Well, that also happens in the US and other countries in America)

[@samrutster]

Anyone can make a silent travel video but you have a special flair for actually making it extremely interesting and entertaining. Your sense of humor is such a breath of fresh air on these types of videos. It’s a stark contrast the upper class railway system in Japan versus Canada and probably the US as well. I was excited to see that you are traveling to other parts of the world to do train travel, it was very interesting can’t wait to watch part two. Bon Apple tea❤

I have taken the VIA trains from Halifax NS on the east coast all the way to Vancouver on the west coast. We did the Prestige class from Toronto to Vancouver. Your video tells a true story of the experience, although I do not remember our train having any bingo games or Yoga exercises. Since Prestige class includes all your alcoholic drinks in your ticket price, I did manage to drink the 10 cocktails you must try before you die. As I am not normally a drinker it was quite an experience. I love your humerous little comments that you make throughout the video. Well done sir.

もう十数年前になりますか、私もバンクーバーからジャスパーまで、このカナディアン号でりょこしましたので、懐かしく拝見しました。 動画の中にもあるように、使用されている車両は古いもので、アムトラック発足より前のアメリカの大陸横断鉄道の趣がある車両でした。 編成があまりにも長いので、バンクーバーでは座席車と寝台車が別のプラットフォームに停まっていて、まるで２編成あるようでした。座席車が先に出発して、もた戻ってきて、寝台車の先頭に連結され全編成が一体となって出発するのは、鉄道ファンにとって興味深いものです。 あと、２人用の寝台室を利用したのですが、昼間時の椅子が、床に固定されていなかったことも、日本では考えられないこてで、驚きでした。 というようなことをいろいろ思い出しながら見入っていました。

Having travelled on The Canadian in the opposite direction, over three decades ago - Vancouver to Toronto - it is such a joy to view your coverage of the trip! I know it's not the degree of sophistication and refinement you've come to expect in Japan, but you handle it with such good grace and humour. I travelled Economy back then, and it may have played a part in ruining my back, but having watched this, I must try it again in the sleeper!

Some notes about the cars on the Canadian: These cars are old - many in their 60s some even 70 years old - and built by the Budd Company of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a company which went out of business by the mid-1980s. Most are inherited by VIA from the two Canadian railroads - Canadian Pacific and Canadian National- while some were acquired secondhand from American railroads as they abandoned passenger operations in the 1970s. And then there's the dome cars. A common feature of American and Canadian passenger operations in the 1950s and 1960s, these were designed to give passengers a panoramic view of the route, especially as it passes the big national parks along the route. On the Canadian (this originally was the old flagship train of the Canadian Pacific Railway; its Canadian National Railways counterpart is the Confederation Limited), this would have passed through Banff and Jasper National Parks.

Great job with the editing. We took the trip this past April and you have "captured" the essence of the trip. Thanks for reminding me of the various meals - they were all delicious. We paid the ridiculous price to be in Prestige, but it was a once in a lifetime experience (I'm 75). The most scenic section was through the Rockies so in 2 weeks I'm going Economy from Vancouver to Edmonton (#2) then waiting a few hours to get on the Edmonton to Vancouver (#1) train in a Lower Berth. Curious to see how that works out. For those who complain about the state of our rail system take a ride on an Egyptian or Thailand train - ours are luxurious. Don't eat the food on an Egyptian train! We were both sick by the time we got to Aswan.

Well, come on! I prefer the Canadian train. On a Japanese train, you pee on yourself until you reach the toilet. And the food... you end up brushing only one tooth, because you don't need to brush all of them. Canadian soup is 1000 times better than Japanese fish soup, which tastes like dishwashing liquid. Not to mention the dimensions of a cabin in a Japanese train. It's for Lilliputians. Everything is done economically, not to be comfortable for people.

Unfortunately, U.S. and Canadian passenger trains are not kept up like Japanese passenger trains. I am glad to see you get to travel outside Japan for an extended train ride.

On the one hand I appreciate the idea of a toilet you don’t have to walk down the corridor to use in the middle of the night. On the other hand it is stuck under the bed so the time when you probably really don’t want to traverse the train in robe & slippers it isn’t easily accessible. 🤔

[@psozak408]

Well there was also the one outside the compartment as well, opposite the shower wasn't there? I feel like I would use the one not in the compartment mostly. Mainly because without any form of other entertainment (TV or otherwise) in the compartment I would probably never put the bed away and would instead spend my days in the observation lounge.

@@psozak408 Indeed. A bathroom like the one in the room that was highest quality (was that deluxe or something?) with it's own separate area without leaving the compartment would be ideal but comes with the higher price.

It's the same bird that's on the golden dollar coin. That's why the coins are also called loonies here! :) In Canada, old trains, cramped spaces, late departures, infrequent trains and expensive rides are excused by saying that nobody wants to ride the train so they don't have a lot of money to fix things. This is silly, because we would love to take the train more if it was less expensive to do so (notice that everyone on that trip with you were all older people, who are statistically more well off then us younger folk. A lot of younger people take the economy train rides, especially university students travelling with no car, but it's still a fraction of what it could be because of the high costs). Hopefully this changes with time as more Canadians start to see what trains in other countries (like Japan!) are like and what we could have here.

Класс. И поезд такой солидный, добротный- махина стали, и дизайн и удобства современные, и кухня, и подача еды. Как сухопутный Круиз с комфортом. Своих денег стоит!

Почему в России такого нет (((

Just wanted to say that I watch a lot of channels and videos like this. After a while you find some of them start to get repetitive with the room and food tours. I always find your videos entertaining thanks to your hilarious sense of humour 🤭💕 Love from UK 🇬🇧

[@arkhangellsk2163]

omg i saw the title and got so excited, then looked at the channel name and screamed I couldnt beleive it! WELCOME TO CANADA!!! I am so happy im crying T_T your journey looks wonderful and I hope you enjoyed it! I've been watching your train/ferry videos every night because theyre so calming. The analysis of our money made me laugh :D CANT WAIT FOR pt 2!!!

[@dianac52176]

Improvise, adapt, and overcome. An excellent life lesson. I hope it stays with you forever. Enjoying all of your adventures here, in Mexico City. ❤

[@lydiaderhake2532]

Aww! I'm sorry you are nervous sitting with strangers! I really enjoy it. I like to tell them, "hi, I'm Lydia!" And ask, "where are you from?" and "where else have you traveled?" People like to answer those questions. I hope you have fun the next time you have to sit with strangers! Also, thank you so much for sharing! I am excited to show this to my husband. We want to do a long train journey and this looks perfect!

A quiet travel atmosphere always succeeds in attracting me. It is really beautiful with light rains that make the view beautiful 💘💘💘

[@joycesahr7990]

Thank you for this. My friend and I are considering a July organized train ride from Vancouver to Banff and Jasper so this was quite helpful to see what it is like inside the train. The tour does mention sleeper plus cars.

[@AsianSignGuy]

this is amazing seeing you outside of canada, i really hope you enjoyed the trip and what sights our country has to offer

[@rubenborzi1152]

Greetings from Argentine!me and my wife love your videos and particular humor! Japanese trains are amazing! We hope see more vídeos soon! Good luck!

[@angiepadilla7635]

I can't travel, but I really enjoy your videos, I know many places through your travels, thank you very much. 🌻🌞🍀

[@Ludmila12345]

Конечно не сравнить с японскими поездами! И еда не такая,как в Японии,но зато какая красивая природа за окном!

[@RrRrRrRroman]

Согласен! Но блин сидячий вагон на 5 дней за 400 USD это жёстко) А я еще на плацкарт иногда жалуюсь)

This was so interesting and so worth watching for Canada's greatest show. The Rockies and the sunrise and sets were just beautiful. Definitely on my bucket list!!

[@leighannhayward7049]

Late to the party on this video- BUT I am Canadian and yes - our train service is a wee slow and somewhat lackluster (AND EXPENSIVE) compared to Japan AND it takes forever to get out of Ontario (lakes and trees) - BUT there is no denying the scenery is spectacular!!! Your humour!!!! very dry love it!!!

[@醤油-y5c]

そろそろさんの動画見るとほんとに旅行行きたくなっちゃう✈️

[@cathrynwang8033]

Love “traveling “ with your video! So exiting seeing you choose Canada! 🇨🇦

[@BernaMutluAytekin]

We suffered with you. I love your sense of humor. How could you not be afraid to travel on a train born at 60's? I'm undecided between completing the video or switching to a Japanese train trip video. I just watched it for 15 minutes and came here to make this comment. But I think I'll watch it. Maybe at the end of the video you think it was all a dream. We love you, we are watching with my son and my husband. Thank you for making a delicious family content. Greetings from Izmir, Turkey. Try Turkish Airlines one day 🥰

[@jellyem]

Oh man, hah. I live in Canada and doing this is on my bucket list. Absolutely stunning views! I look forward to seeing the rest!

[@KMCA779]

You and me both. Although I will be honest, my bucket list version has the Prestige Class cabin. Everything else is a bit too.... Let's go with "Old Fashioned"

[@jellyem]

The train def showing it's age yeah. 😄

[@bkdarkness]

You probably shouldn't. I've done it by car and if you're not stopping to visit and going to the different national parks it's just going to be a long and boring trip. There is just 3 types of scenery: the canadian shield (this video) with pine forests and lakes/bogs, the flat prairies with endless fields and the rockies. You'd be better off just doing the rockies part, the other two are very long with the same endless geography.

I’ve just discovered your channel thanks to this amazing video. I loved it! Keep it up and can’t wait for part 2!
