Memories! I rode the Rocky Mountaineer from Vancouver to Calgary back in 1998 or 99 on this same route. Fabulous scenery and lots of good times. Thank you Grant.

Always a good time riding the train Doug!

@@SouthernAlbertaRail the drone shots really gave the perspective of how vast the landscape is. Our scenic lines here pale into insignificance.

This is superb, thank you so much Grant for putting this together and for all those that contributed. We are planning a trip to Canada ourselves and this has some great tips on places and ways to make the most of the trip.

Great job on your videos I’m booked for September again I heard you say that the buffer car will be removed do you know when ?

[@SouthernAlbertaRail]

Not sure Mike. I heard it was sometime this summer. Fingers crossed... -grant

[@mikemiskiman4743]

Thanks for the info grant , keep up the great work.your Videos are very informative

[@mikemiskiman4743]

I have been on my fare share of 12 + hour late Canadians , I don’t Mind a bit It’s more time on the Canadian and that’s a good thing

[@SouthernAlbertaRail]

Been on many of late trains as well. I figure it just brings down the cost per hour to ride!!

[@rayopeongo]

In White Canyon, are those “fences” on the right side to block or detect rock falls?

[@SouthernAlbertaRail]

Slide detector fences Ray. -grant

[@rayopeongo]

@@SouthernAlbertaRail Thanks for the reply. I loved the video, hoping to make the trip myself at some point. The Canadian goes through my neighbourhood, I have seen it many times, it is always a thrill. My brother took the Rocky Mountaineer last fall, I’m seeing him in a couple of weeks for a full report.

[@RonStanek]

Is A2A going to happen? And if not, will it's traffic still happen on your rail line?

[@SouthernAlbertaRail]

Doubt it Ron. Lots of money "disappeared" with that venture.

[@RonStanek]

Take Off! Egh!

[@SouthernAlbertaRail]

Welcome to the Great White North eh... Saw you caught the podcast Ron. Thanks for popping in for a visit. -grant

@Southern Alberta Rail loved it. Good job! 90's here in Chicagoland.
