Hello John, from London, England. My wife and I took The Canadian (Train #2 eastbound) for our honeymoon in 1998, which started our love affair with Canada. We know Brockville station very well ! When covering the "Ottawa Triangle" (Montreal - Brockville - Ottawa - Montreal) bashing trains, we visited Brockville a few times. Since then, we have covered every Canadian route with a passenger service (except Churchill) including Sept Iles to Schefferville, Toronto to Cochrane to Moosonee, Sarnia, Windsor, Niagara, Quebec, Halifax, Vancouver, Whistler, Quesnel, Jasper, Prince George, Prince Rupert, Banff, Calgary, the West Coast Express, Skytrain, GO Transit, EXO Montreal, the Pearson Airport Shuttle, and Carcross in Yukon Territory. Plus loads of heritage lines like Orangeville to Brampton, both Orford Express routes from Sherbrooke, the Hull Chelsea Wakefield, Chute Montmorency to La Malbaie, Port Stanley to Whytes Park, the South Simcoe, etc.

Looks like you've seen and covered more of Canada than most Canadians! We should make you an honorary Canadian just for that lol. Crossing Canada by rail and the train to Churchill are on my bucket list, but I didn't even know there were trains in the Yukon!
@vicsams44312 жыл бұрын
@@tinsley999 Thank you for such an honour. I have always said the Canadians are nice people ! The White Pass & Yukon Route goes from Skagway Alaska, USA, to Fraser BC, Bennett BC and Carcross YT. It is highly scenic and climbs 2,885ft into the St Elias Mountains. After watching the WP&YR on KZbin, I bet you will be adding that to your bucket list too ! Whilst the most scenic bit is the climb to White Pass Summit, recommend you do the whole line to Carcross Yukon. They provide lunch in the station at Bennett, and the run alongside Lake Bennett is scenic in its own right. So many people claim to have done the WP&YR, yet when you ask them did you do Carcross, they say no. I reply, then you have only done the White Pass, the AND Yukon bit means you have to go to Carcross. Only one train goes that far. There is one railway to North West Territory to Hay River, on the Great Slave Lake (nearest railhead to Yellowknife) but you have to hide in a freight car so I have not done that LOL ! One commentator said the line to Churchill was an endurance. It used to leave Winnipeg, travel two days and one night and reach Churchill by 20.30 the next evening. Now the schedule is retimed to be mostly at night. It leaves Winnipeg at 20.30 and arrives at Churchill at 08.30 on Day 3, after two nights on the train. As the train returns the same day, you no longer overnight in a bed in Churchill. The train goes up the Thompson line, which branches off the line to Churchill. The train used to take one hour getting to Thompson, spend SIX hours in Thompson, then take one hour getting back on course for Churchill, making one chap say it was 8 hours going no where.... Probably the most scenic railway in Canada for beautiful sea fjords is the line from Vancouver to Whistler. The remote line from Sept Iles, Quebec to Schefferville, Quebec is very little known about, but it is well worth adding to you bucket list. Search KZbin for the Tshiuetin Railway. You can thank me later. It travels 357 miles north of any road, across Newfoundland and Labrador. I managed to ride in the cab of the locomotive, seeing wolves and bears cross the track. I have also done all FIVE railways in Alaska ! Anchorage to Seward is a personal favourite. In the Lower 48, I have only done Toronto to New York (on the AMTRAK Maple Leaf) and New York to St Albans, Vermont (on the AMTRAK Vermonter). Both I can recommend. I have also done every railway in Britain, Isle Of Man, Ireland, Portugal, Norway, and most of Europe. My all time most scenic railways are 1st) Bergen to Oslo (Tip: You MUST do it EASTbound), 2nd) Trondheim to Bodø (goes north of the Arctic Circle, for many hours alongside the shores of the Atlantic), and 3) Dombås to Åndalsnes (the train goes UNDER twenty waterfalls and dives off a 3,000ft cliff, almost vertically). Any questions, just ask.

Thankyou for this wonderful ride across Canada. I took the train twice from Saskatoon to Toronto return in the 1980s Back then the train ran every day in both directions and there was the southern route through Regina. Later on, it ran every other day and the southern route was history and, as you said, now only twice a week. The food on-board was great and VIA prided themselves for having no microwave ovens on board. Those were the days. I think that when these 1950s cars finally ware out, VIA will end the Canadian service; I don't think they will ever replace them. It will be very sad indeed.

Seeing it taken off of the very tracks that it had run on since its inaugural run in 1955 and moved to CN tracks was a very difficult thing to see for all who had worked on it for years - even decades.

go to the VIA app or website www.viarail.ca/en/plan-your-trip/train-schedules/toronto-winnipeg-jasper-vancouver You are train 2 which leaves on Fridays and Mondays from Pacific Central. If you load the VIA app you can track any train in real time by going to the "train status" tab at the bottom of the screen. and existing train journey will give you an idea of what to expect on yours. Keep in mind the Canadian can run up to 6 hours behind sometimes but it usually makes it back before it gets to the final destination. The schedules are quite fluid. At the rest stops there is usually at least 30 minutes for a leg stretch. Jasper is 2-3 hours. Rest stops are: Kamloops, Jasper; Edmonton; Saskatoon; Melville; Winnipeg (3 hours); Sioux Lookout; Hornepayne; Capreol. enjoy!

Quite expensive in comparison because of the time and meals that they serve. Food in cabin or prestige class is outstanding, 3 meals a day prepared by chefs on board. No microwaves here. So discounted from Toronto to Jasper that class would start around 2k per person (3 days) and then you can pick up the Skeena to to Prince George in Jasper. It takes a day but the schedule does not line up with the Canadian so you would have some time in Jasper. Air is definitely cheaper and faster but… without the charm of the rails and the scenery.

Furniture is ugly, its too expensive for what you get, and as a solo traveller…..well the cabin for one is ridiculous. One gets a toilet that isn’t enclosed, and instead of a door we get a curtain. Noooooo. The train is not the way to go for a solo traveller, on a budget or not. I did actually want to take this train til i saw what kind of cabin Id get.

A human chain from a holding area through a busy Union Station onto archaic railroad equipment. Reduced personal service, limited dining choices and accommodations pre-1970. No doubt the price of your travel reflects 21st century CCG (Canadian Communist Gov't) greed and neglect. I took this trip in 1983, the cars are the same just different locomotives. The scenery is of course always beautiful as Canada is truly God's work. Being behind schedule is a benchmark of this train, passenger service outside of the built-up centres in Canada receive secondary priority, always have. It's time for a new route through Elliott Lake to Sault Ste.Marie and onward through parts of northern Manitoba to Saskatoon, Edmonton then up to Yellowknife and Whitehorse before descending through BC. The line should start in Sydney NS, down through Halifax and cross the St. Lawrence to Quebec City, including cities in New Brunswick. With new rolling stock that would be a true Canadian National heritage to be respected.

I appreciate the effort, but you need to keep these videos to 30 minutes or less and not create 6000 chapters, if you want anybody to watch this.

I signed up to see train services, not to watch endless clips of people dragging suitcases thru stations. Get lost.
