[@smitty3700]

My Dad and I are both train enthusiasts, and we took this train trip at the end of November 2022 but we started in Vancouver and headed east to Toronto. I had never ridden a train before this trip and I can't say enough good things about the trip itself, the workers on and off the train and the gourmet food we had for every meal on board as well as the fantastic scenery that Canada provided for us

[@NMClogger]

Y'all are precious!! We are taking this trip in the opposite direction at the end of the month! Thanks for a sweet preview!

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

Have a great time !

Back in the mid 1960's my sis (RIP) & I travelled from New Hazelton BC to Bigger Sk...nice stop in Smithers, Prince George, & Jasper along the way... (We went to a boarding school in Rosetown) fond memories! Then in the early 1990's my hubby (RIP) & I travelled by train from New Hazelton to Prince Rupert BC ...more fond memories...........

When I was a kid my father and his brother both born in Canada loaded up the whole family on the Poller Bear express , a train excursion taking us into Northern Ontario during the month of July in the early 70’s where the ground was still crunchy walking around on the ground. We fondly recall visiting Indian reservations as a Portly lady in her attire baked us raisin bread on a stick twisting it on an open fire. Was excellent and the memories lasting. Great memories and excellent content. Thanks..

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

Great memories glad you enjoyed our video Cheers 🚂🙂

[@sammie44]

Hi Tina and Norm😊 What I love most is seeing the expression on your faces - the enjoyment and pleasure you are both experiencing on this epic Canadian train trip. 🚂 This trip we have often spoken over the years, about taking with our children when younger. The cost was just too high for us then. Take care you two - love seeing you smile and enjoying life in retirement. 😊 Happy spring 💐 🌷Sam

Wow, this looks like a great adventure. I always wanted to do a train trip across the U.S. also. I love the idea of the cabin with its own bathroom. The dining car looks great as did the food. The food was presented so well. It looked like you got to try almost everything on the menu. This was a great video. However, you made me nervous about missing the train.

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

Thanks Eric, it truly was a glimpse of history how people used to travel, these rail cars were made in 1957 and have been updated. Sorry to have raised the tension in Jasper getting back on the train 🚂

What a great trip. We did this same trip in May 2014 BUT we are thinking of doing it again in March 2024 in Prestige Class, way too much money but as they say you only go around once. The weather is always a factor, but we intend to leave enough time at both ends for such events.
