Amtrak Cascades Cross The US Canadian Border By Train On Amtrak's Most Underrated Route

[@freden9234]

Took this train earlier this year. Along the way, we saw the largest gathering of bald eagles I have ever seen-there must have been over thirty birds near the shoreline. Spectacular! 🦅🦅🦅

I took this route earlier this year with my nephew. It was his first train trip and he loved it. Definitely my favorite car free way to get to Vancouver.

I took this line from Seattle to Eugene, OR. It's an absolutely gorgeous and comfortable trip!

[@jl80kreykes]

My wife and I have done this train ride and loved it. the best way to get between the two cities.

Spectacular Views!!! ❤🎉

[@teerile1100]

Thank you for sharing the beautiful views.

[@PrimeTimeTravelers]

Oh this is a must do route for us someday! We are going to try and do all of the Amtrak Routes someday. One at a time and we will get there!

[@JeanRiquelmeSEA]

One of my favorites-son in Surrey, BC so frequently use this route

[@THintz-jc4sl]

Enjoying your trips so very much!! More places to put on my bucket list, thank you!! The second choice of music was calming and nice for the water views.

Wife and I did a day trip in mid September, weather was beautiful and the skies were clear. Had a great time, btw the breakfast sandwich was so good I had a second.

Even with the whoop-de-do $3 chit for the café car, business class is an absolute must on this trip. Besides the 1+2 seating (excellent for solo travelers who are riding for transportation rather than to meet strangers en route), the conductor wasn't kidding when he said it might take a while to get through Customs! When I rode this train business class was sold out, and I ended up in the last car to be allowed to go through Customs -- a 45 minute wait, much of it standing in the drizzle on the platform. Not an auspicious start to my weekend! That said, I fully agree with the point of your video that this is one of Amtrak's most picturesque routes!

I live in SW Washington state. Amtrak Cascades is my favorite way to Portland and Seattle.

[@joanmoore3018]

We were able to do this trip on points, as well. We stopped in Everett to visit some friends and then continued down to Seattle.

[@taylahs.3808]

Love the new intro music!!!

[@hollykacz1958]

I was raised in Everett, WA.

[@georgehaeh4856]

Business class is nice and you do get first in line for customs which may be worthwhile if you have a tight connection at the airport. If you have time before your flight, Machete Mexican Ancestral Food is close by the station. A little farther are Gusto and Nuba. The Expo Line is next to Pacific Central Station. It will get you to the airport in about 45 minutes, but you have to change to the Canada Line or you can walk to the Olympic Village Station if you'd like to enjoy the views along False Creek . If you want to watch the shore from business class, best to board in Seattle before the oceanside seats are all taken.

Fantastic videos!!!!

[@mholtebeck]

this summer I will be doing this the other way. I doing the same trip, but the opposite direct. Halifax-San Diego

[@billsnyder1021]

Will be on this train next May to Vancouver and Alaska cruise

[@chrisdobrowolski2783]

I like how the conductor said how to find the restrooms on this train

[@damcoentertainment3956]

I want to travel on the Talgo's one day...

[@johnburke1317]

Nice video

[@jmajette2]

Just curious if the cafe car menu changes post border crossing, such as what happens on the Maple Leaf?

[@RVail623]

Isn't there a VIA Rail train that you can take as far north as Prince Rupert, B.C.? Which is almost as far as the border with Alaska. Not sure if there is public transportation from Prince Rupert to Alaska and points further north from there.

[@Double0pi]

You can take the Alaska Ferry from Bellingham to Juneau and onward to Whittier. If you go all the way to Whittier, you can then take the Alaska Railroad all the way to Fairbanks via Anchorage.

[@RVail623]

@@Double0pi Google Maps shows there's a passenger ferry from Prince Rupert to Juneau to Whittier. There's also a VIA Rail train that goes 1st from Vancouver to Jasper, Alberta, then change to a 2nd train going from Jasper to Prince Rupert. The direct Vancouver - Prince Rupert ferry segment is about 600 miles. The Vancouver - Prince Rupert train journey takes ~73 hours.

[@johnslyfield5096]

The ferry in Bellingham is right next to the Bellingham station :)

[@ROLLMEAWAY]

I'm curious about Rob's TYO tee shirt he wears so often - Tokyo? and the Nike swish, trying to distill what it all means.

[@RedCatt423]

Bummer the window was so dirty

[@SusanT-r4e]

What side of the car had the best views?

[@chrisdobrowolski2783]

They check the passports sevearal times on this train.

[@Legalectric]

Getting ready for a VIA trip???

[@suzannehaynes824]

Love your videos,have you had that bump on your arm check ? Not trying to be nosy,just concerned

[@stevehoffman4429]

I would not stay at the Embassy Suites and not take advantage of their breakfast buffet... Big mistake!
