Noting better on KZbin than another train journey with you & Will. Perfect music too. 👏👏👏👏

You are definitely "grown!" What a great trip and always a joy to see Will too!

This channel makes me want to be Titanic-Era North American aristocracy.

I see you everywhere! OWL games, music videos and now here in train videos! hope youre doing well tay!

Love your music man !

[@mariegarside8830]

You can temporarily become a Titanic era passenger. I traveled on my "bucket list" train journey. Awesome friend, wonderful views, plus we met lots of people.

[@iracture]

I am living in one such area which was built during the peak of gilded age. I simply don't see wat the fuss is about. I hear everyone I meet almost always mention about those golden days - through references about great grand parents. Maybe it was relevant to those times. Maybe it had something to do with the environment here. In heart of Europe you can build the fanciest of houses, trains, the works but everyone prefers to be outdoors no matter how many luxuries you give them indoors. Britain is exception in this regards - maybe because the outdoor weather is not so pleasant.

[@sandywatkins8484]

As soon as I saw Will, I just knew this was going to be a great trip. You didn't disappoint.

[@atlsxfinest8509]

Will is such a delight of a person. "You grown" is something my grandfather would say. We're southern us lol

[@lisaswaim-parker5088]

Thanks for taking me along with you.

[@marbler2442]

Don’t take this wrong, I do always enjoy watching your antics and whatever you share…but I love that you brought Will back! He seems like such a kind genuine person, brings a grounded calm and yet fun and relaxed atmosphere

[@DarkpawTheWolf]

Will is so cool....it's great to see you two travel together again.

[@edvaira6891]

We did this same trip during a disappointingly rainy June overnight during our Honeymoon in June of 1991…and it was STILL such an astonishing experience I grew so very nostalgic and remember it so very vividly…even more than thirty years later

[@kenbrown5449]

Such infectious personalities Will and Mike! Loved the episode.

[@sandracorso8292]

Great to see you traveling with Will again! He's my favorite of all your travel companions! 🙂

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

Yup, an advantage that riding a train has that a plane doesn't is seeing all the scenery closeup. Not to mention you have plenty of room to move around! And Will is right, you HAVE grown, in a good way! Taking trains and learning from another perspective of why it's so important that trains are an option helps people become more aware of their surroundings. In the US for example, we've become so accustomed to cars that the moment someone suggests funding transit and transit-oriented development, we snap at them. Reality is, cars aren't meant for everyone nor every place. Some places are just meant to be explored by train. And The Canadian is an example of that. Mount Robson is the highest in the Rockies, but not in the entirety of Canada! That title belongs to Mount Logan of the Saint Elias Mountains in Yukon. That one has an elevation of 5,956 m/19,541 feet and is the second-highest peak in the WHOLE of North America after Denali in neighboring Alaska!

[@aromanticfranziskavonkarma]

oh hey it's you again

[@choppagwuap]

😊😊

[@gailmariage5318]

Glad to see Will again. Love his smile and I can't wait to see the Rockies in the winter. :)

[@suzettecalleja3122]

It never gets old when I hear you say, I don't know where I'm going next, but I know I want you with me.

[@smwca123]

Though I have a hunch you have in fact at least some idea where you're going next. While I have to be content with IDKWYGNBIKIBTWY.

[@larrygibbens1028]

Really enjoy all your travels . Is there ever a time when Will is NOT SMILING . What a great friend you have in him.

[@SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

Some Mount Robson history: Many have assumed the mountain was named after John Robson who was Premier of British Columbia from August 1889 to June 1892, but it's actually meant to be named after Colin Robertson, who worked for the North West and Hudson Bay Companies. The diary of fur trader George McDougall refers to it as Mount Robertson in 1827. The indigenous Texqa'kallt people, on the other hand, call it Yexyexéscen which means "striped rock". Mt. Robson was first surveyed by James McEvoy in 1893 who determined it to be the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies. The first documented ascent of Mount Robson, led by the young guide Conrad Kain, at its time the hardest ice face to be climbed on the continent, was achieved during the 1913 annual expedition organized by a large party of Alpine Club of Canada members who made use of the newly completed Grand Trunk Pacific railway to access the area.

[@PKPhoenix83]

Thank you all knowing Supreme Leader. They should rename the mountain after you.

[@himbourbanist]

man you and Will have the most chill vibes, love taking in the views with yall

[@adriennejacoby8319]

I want to come back next life as Mike Downie!! All your travels!! Love the canal boats in England, but trains have my heart…especially steam. I did my fist extended train trip with my grandmother in May, 1941. I can still show you seat where I sat in while waiting to change trains at Union Station, Los Angeles. Thanks for taking us all along with you!!

[@kipphelan]

Back in 1973, my newly wed wife and I shared a berth from Vancouver to Montréal on the Canadian after a year at UBC. Even for lovebirds, the quarters were beyond tight but it made getting up at dawn to see the sunrise from the dome easy. It’s still on our bucket list to do it again but next time we’ll do it in style in a roomette. Love your travels both on train and canal boat. Thanks so much for your voice and content ...all the best...Chris Phelan

[@bluquartz2]

Will- I definitely caught it. 😂 Mike has made me really stop and think about the trains, especially the infrastructure (or lack there of) and it’s upkeep.

[@mattquirk8753]

Y'all are grown! Do what you like. I got you Will

[@sharonevans1257]

Beautiful scenery! Thanks for sharing 💖

[@johnmones1450]

Even though it was just a 24hr trip it seems that you were able to see and experience a lot on this trip. I love when you are able to meet new people along the way. 👍🙏😎

[@DownieLive]

So true!

[@jeffodabear]

I love this channel, and I love when you and Will team up

[@jwuertz7101]

What a cool way to have an adventure from my couch as my cat napped on my lap! I would love to do so many of these train journeys with family or friends. I am so glad you take us along with you, even though we don't know where you're going next.

[@laurenrodrigues6962]

I find myself always smiling through your travel videos. Thank you for being kind, gracious, humble, and positive… both of you! The world can’t get enough of that. What a great escape, even just vicariously! Look forward to your future instalments!

[@deborahashaw6044]

Happy New Years!! Glad to see you back!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@itsnotme07]

On ANY train, if there is a "Dome car", and you can get up/down the stairs...you REALLY need to experience it! The Rocky Mountaineer (not a "Dome car", but better) is nice, but a train with a real dome car gives you this extra specialness of being above the rest of the train, with the 360 degree view. Experienced it on the "Mountaineer" run of the Conway Scenic Railway in North Conway, New Hampshire. It was summer, so everything was warm/green, etc...but none of that mattered. The views from the dome car as you're riding along....so much better than if you just had a seat downstairs. I enjoy all your videos Mike....but these kind of "bucket list" trips....things you can't see/do everyday...are really great! And you brought Will along to add some more fun to it!!

[@candytucker5010]

“We grown” heck yeah!

[@rchang6639]

Just something about watching both of y’all’s content! I’m glad I found y’all and I’ve added so many places to my bucket list!

I love your travels with Will as I see it from your view and then see it through his! Such fun!! And what a beautiful trip!!

[@MrJeepCanada]

Just an amazing video. Thank you for sharing a beautiful part of Canada by train the scenery was amazing.

[@John_Fugazzi]

A great idea for a quick trip. To be able to travel through the Canadian Rockies in mid winter in total comfort with a dome car view, that's really something to remember. Good to see Will drop in again; I think I last saw him in the Grand Canyon leg of your vast U.S. odyssey. This is a good start for a new year of Downie Live.

[@fatimahyusof]

Hello Mike & Will... Love to see you both together again.. in this amazing trip

[@alflud]

I used to do a lot of traveling by train - commuting though, going to and coming from work but still - after some time I realized time was passing differently on the train whenever it was moving. It's not _much_ of a difference but it's there and I think it's what makes trains seem special. The way the landscape rolls by, faster in the foreground and slower in the background is indicative of the warping of time as well. I do like trains. Nice to see these videos.

[@kellyb5980]

Love to watch you and Will traveling together and even though your both recording you both have unique videos of the trip.

[@ja-bv3lq]

Oh, man! As a Colorado native, I've done the amazing 6-ish hour trip in the Colorado Rockies from Denver to Glenwood Springs many times, just for the view... but this trip looks absolutely incredible!

[@Sean-mp6ed]

Always great to see Will! The Canadian is a great way to see the beauty of Canada, and the food is a great bonus!

[@the_g9456]

Another wonderful journey. This is a fantastic train ride. Would be fun to do the entire trip. Mike, so happy you are back. This was a wonderful way to start 2023. Just a small addition. The dome car is just too cool.

My husband, the train enthusiast and I enjoyed watching this.

[@BillAndersonNS]

A few years ago we too VIA from Halifax to Vancouver. Halifax to Montreal where we stayed overnight. Then Business Class to Toronto the next day. Then that evening we too the Canadian, and because it was a once-in-a-lifetime event, we booked Prestige Class: larger roon, with a queen sized bed, huge windows, all you can eat and all you can drink at the bar. We took it early spring because without the foliage you could see a lot more animals and terrain.
