I did this wonderful journey from Vancouver to Montreal with my late husband in 1981. We had 3 stopovers in Banff, Calgary & Winnipeg. Unforgettable memories of a trip of a lifetime. Fantastic way to enjoy a beautiful country. Thank you Canada, I recommend 100% your train service.

Love that there is no stupid background music and no incessant yak-yak-yak.

A lovely video! As a Canadian, I am always thrilled when someone visits from abroad and gets a chance to admire our beautiful country. I hope you felt safe and were treated well during your journeys here!!!❤

I visited Canada in 1974, only Toronto, but i loved the people and the country. I have always said that if i came into serious money, i would travel across Canada on the Canadian. Canadians and New Zealanders have a shared past, and are brothers.

I like the long pauses on the specifics, like food, menu, and such ….it gives me time to pause and pick out my meal choices👀🇺🇸🕊

You must take this trip again in the winter months .The scenery is twice as beautiful with all the snow on the ground and mountains .😊

I live in Winnipeg. I’ve been subscribed to your channel for a while. I can’t believe you came to Winnipeg! 🤣 Nobody comes to Winnipeg 😂

I assure you that it is not just the Japanese who find it awkward having to share a table at meal times!. I think North Americans are better attuned to this but, if you are an uptight Englishman (such as yours truly) it can be a palace of embarrassment, when all I would want is peace and time to watch the world roll by. Incidentally, great that you are showing more of your face these days - it makes your channel more familial and “cosy.” (Dylan, of Dylan’s Travel Reports, took the leap into showing his face a couple of years ago and it makes his content more relatable). Anyway, thanks for a great video!

Thank you for taking me on this lovely train trip with you. I think it is very kind of you to thank the cow for your beef food! Your positive attitude about everything is so refreshing, because it seems nowadays that people mostly like to complain. I hope you do videos of the other two sleeper trains you mentioned.

Did I hear you say that you are going to Churchill and in the Atlantic arm as well? That is phenomenal. I've be a Canadian for a long time and I've never been to some of those places myself. I don't know if many of your viewers realize the enormous size of your trip. Trees, fields, trees, trees, field, trees, rocks, trees, field, rocks, river, trees, town...Thanks for your sacrifice

I rode The Canadian just before COVID hit, in a cabin for one, from Vancouver to Toronto. Wonderful trip. Accommodations, service, food, etc all superb. Loved that the menus changed every day so food variety was huge. Lots of activities during the day. Since you have ridden the Rocky Mountaineer, I would be very interested in your comparison of the two trains. I will anxiously await your trip to Churchill! ! Thanks.

O Canada, you truly are a beautiful country. Terrific video.

with that price tag i would have expected a lot more of the "snacks" options.

Loved your video my friend. You have a great sense of humor 😁. I sincerely wish you a great day, wherever you are. Cheers from Germany.

That’s twice you were on a train here in Vancouver that drove right by my office window. You can imagine me waving at you. I had an identical room when I moved west 35 years ago from back east and took the train.

You had the incredible good luck to ride the first and only Canadian train ever to arrive ahead of schedule.

Thank you for this experience. I always think I'd like to take a long train ride across Canada, but when you showed bits of the beautiful scenery I found it heart-tugging that I couldn't get off the train and just walk around in it for a while. I wanted to yell Stop the train!

Kuga, you are hilarious 😁 I particularly enjoyed the mentally unstable tap water 🤣

万物にありがとうの気持ちを 伝えている事が素晴らしい 壮大な景色を見せてくれて ありがとう

Welcome to Canada, Kuga! I love your videos. You inspired me to visit Japan a few weeks ago. One of my highlights was the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Kyoto. I love the precision and attention to detail in Japan. The sashimi and Waygu beef were delicious. And your toilets are out of this world! 😅

Chulada de video me lo encontré y lo disfruté mucho, pues yo nací en el ferrocarril de México y todo esto que aquí ví, lo vivíamos muy constantemente todos los niños que allí nacimos. Gracias amigo Japonés por tu bonito video que subiste de esos lugares preciosos de Canadá.

Hi, looks to me like a 1950,s train, art deco, lots of metal. Small sleeper room. Dining car looks nice 👍. Menu looks great and tasty.

Seeing the "Last Spike" photo in the video, capturing the moment the final nail was hammered into the railway, I couldn't help but reflect deeply. The photo, filled with the faces of white men, strikingly lacks the presence of any Chinese individuals. It's a stark reminder of the forgotten sacrifices in our history. Over 600 Chinese laborers are estimated to have lost their lives constructing this railway, yet their contributions seem to be missing from this iconic moment. It's a poignant reminder that history often tells only part of the story, and it's up to us to remember and honor all those who have shaped our past, not just the ones who were captured in the photographs. Canada's railways should consider adding a historical description next to such photos to remind the world to not forget and to be inclusive of all who contributed.

Loved this video, even got to see your face 😍 So glad you enjoyed your trip and Canada. I live slightly east of the Canadian Rockies (closer to Calgary) and I think I take its beauty forgranted because I see it all the time. Nice to see someone elses perspective. Can't wait to watch your other Canadian train videos. Thank you ❤

So beautiful Canada travel Train. Thank you for sharing nice video. Have a nice weeken day everyone

My dad use to work on the stream trains shovelling coal into the furnace ..he was called the fireman. Then he did his exams and became a train driver. He would drive passenger trains to the boarder then switched to driving very long freight trains. His family had a free rail pass to travel on any train in Australia, but he only used the pass one time because every time he tried to sleep he would wake up in a cold sweat thinking he fell asleep driving 😂 He retired from the railways and passed away 15 years later but every time I see a train I think of him. 🕊️ RIP Dad

Thank you for this video - it brought back many wonderful memories. In 1977 (!) I took this train from Vancouver to Montreal on what was then Canadian National. The train left Monday evening at 8 AM and arrived Montreal on Friday about 11 AM. In Sudbury the train was split into two sections, one for Toronto and the other for Montreal. I had a similar compartment (then called a roomette) and it was a trip of a lifetime. It stopped for 30 minutes in Jasper which was getting the first snowfall of the year (this was in October) and also for 1 hour in Winnipeg. Videos such as this bring back great memories.

Thank you for sharing the beauty of my country. I am very happy you were able to see Canada

Thank you for sharing your train trip with us. The scenery was breathtaking and relaxing. I’m gonna put this trip on my bucket list. 😊🇺🇸💙

always good to see your train travels mr kuga-san. i would travel only if i can have the solo compartment room and was wondering if the train crew would allow me to just take my breakfast, lunch and dinner to my room or i have to eat at the table because im the type that just likes to eat solo with no disturbances social distance style. KEEP ON TRAVELING EVERYONE AND BE SAFE OUT THERE🚅✈🛫🚌🚗

Thank you for taking us along on your beautiful trip Kuga! I'm looking forward to more videos

The steam locomotive in Jasper never hauled the Canadian. The Canadian was a Canadian Pacific train that went through Banff. The CN locomotive you saw in Jasper hauled different trains on the Canadian National route that the current Canadian follows. The Canadian switched routes from the Banff route in 1990.

What an amazing trip! I was blessed to take a driving tour from Edmonton to Banff to Jasper and back. One of the best trips of my life!!

I always enjoy your nice videos. Your humor and the backgroundinformation you provide makes them very pleasant.

Every time the train stops at a station for a while, I always get scared when you get off, you might miss getting back on the train before it leaves. For the ice cream you should have it with chocolate syrup.

I grew up behind the Saskatoon station where u see all the trees. Thanks for showing!!!

At first I was sceptical because of the high price and how spartanic the room was. But I think if you consider the whole experience it looked like it was worth it.

Well integrated toilet is hilarious. Look like, they allotted a toilet space to sleep. 😀😂

Beautiful well explained trip! I loved the video and detailed journey! Thank you for sharing!

What a beautiful trip. It was almost as good as being there. And the train, food and scenery can't be beat. Lets go somewhere else.

初めて見させていただきました。 へー😮スゴーの連続でした。 かっこいい列車でスイッチもレトロでかわいい。70年も大事にされてるんだと、そこがいいなと思いました。ずーっと安定の信頼できる列車なんだなと。 お食事も美味しそうだし、景色もよくって、私も一緒に乗ってる気分でした。 これからも気をつけて😊

Thank you so much for sharing your trip with us! You are very charming.

Really enjoyed sharing a bit of that journey with you: your outlook, eye for details, and personality brings so much to the videos. Thank you very much.

Thank you for a most excellent video, with much appreacion for our gracious neighbors to the north for their hospitality.

That train is as old as I am. Nice ride and views.

As always, a wonderful video! Thank you for taking us along!

Welcome to Canada! Been following your channel for a while and I'm so glad you are visiting and enjoying the amazing rail journeys we have to offer here. I took the Toronto to Vancouver trip on The Canadian about 10 years ago and it was incredible (and yes, the food was fantastic too!). Looking forward to seeing your journey to Churchill, Manitoba - that one has been on my bucket list for a while!

Merci pour Magnifique voyage en train au Canada 🚆😊

Glad to be in WInnipeg at last - I can eat and drink my coffee now! Great trip - looking forward to your other videos - thank you!

Hello Kuga, thank you for making all of your videos. I enjoy watching them. Looking forward to more videos from you!!

Wow, that’s so cool. Thanks for sharing! Love your adventures on trains.👍

Enjoyed this video till the end. It was fun traveling with you and getting to see the beautiful landscapes, Lakes and the awesome Mount Robson. Thank you so much 🙏 New subscriber 👍

Thanks for sharing. Will add this to my bucket list!

Thank you sharing your life. My son Matthew and grandson live in Surrey bc he works for southern railway he drives the train/engineer very proud of him haven’t seen him since 2019 miss him so bad. I sent him your video thank you

I did the Toronto Vancouver ride in Prestige in 2017. Very enjoyable experience except for the 16 hour delay in leaving Toronto. Your video brought back very happy memories. Thank you for sharing

glad to see you in Canada - I hope you enjoyed your visit! 😊

Thank you for sharing such great video. Canada is a beautiful country.

Beautiful scenery! Thank you for a marvelous video. 🎉

Your videos are cool, so are you. Thank you for sharing them with us and taking us on these journeys with you, its really cool sharing the experience with you

Thanks for sharing this!!!This Texan sure enjoyed it!!!

Putting this trip on the bucket list! Thanks for your great reporting.

Really enjoyed your video, thank you. I rode the Canadian from Vancouver to Toronto and back one month before you were on it. Your camera work is great and the subtitles were nice. Can't wait to see some of your other videos, glad that you enjoyed your trip.

This is one video that I watched from start to finish.......fabulous 😊 I have always wanted to take this journey, but too expensive for me. It looks amazing. I have been to Canada many years ago and was left with many wonderful memories......😮😮😮😮😅😅😅😅😅😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Incredible. You had some lovely weather for the trip. As always your videos are some of the best travel videos on RU-vid.

Have taken this train 3 times from Toronto to Vancouver ...love it!!!

Loved this..i did this journey many years ago so it brought back lots of happy memories! thank you!!

As usual, Kuga-san, you have outdone yourself in presenting the beauty of train-travel in great splendor (with great cinematography, too!) ❤️! I have seen and hiked in the U.S. Rockies, but in some ways the Canadian Rockies are even more dramatic 🇨🇦! Thank you so much for another great ride-along adventure 🥰!

Thank you for sharing with us the more affordable side of this train travel! I love trains but no way I'm spending that much for the prestige!

高级，感受到了不一样的出行方式~感谢！

What a wonderful program. Thank you and I look forward to watching more. Outstanding. Love from New Zealand

Beautiful video! Very well done! 🤗 I enjoyed the trip! 🛤

OH QUE BELLEZA....GRACIAS HERMANO......ABRAZOS DESDE MEXICO !!!

Thank You for sharing your trip with us.

Thank you so much for the video Kuga! I'm so happy you have been visiting our beautiful country! I always wanted to take this train from Toronto to Vancouver. I hope to visit Japan one day, it's my dream!!!

Kuga-sun, извиняюсь что пишу на русском . С теплым приветом из Узбекистана! С огромным интересом и удовольствием посмотрела это видео. Все так наглядно и подробно как будто ехали с Вами ! Спасибо большое за такое позитивное и интересное видео.😊

Nicely done! And I love the ambient sound as opposed to annoying jabber and music. Re the train, unlike grungy Amtrak the windows are clean!

I thoroughly enjoyed this! Presentation was key and it was appropriate and dare i say perfect! Thank you!

SHARON SHNEYER, I'm glad I just discovered your channel. I love all things Canadian (well figure skating, rail passenger trains and wildlife). I'm a former rail and transit activist here in the Southeastern Pennsylvania area in the US. I was grateful several decades ago when I was in my twenties to spend a month in Canada. I took the train from Toronto (my favorite city), to Cochrane, Ontario. It was an overnight trip. I spent a few days in Cochrane where I took the Polar Bear Express from Cochrane to Mossinee, a one day trip which was approximately 2 1/2 hours up each way, and we had 5 hours there. That is where the James Bay starts. There is at least one hotel where you can stay. I am still in awe of Cochrane. I spent a week in Toronto, a few days in Ottawa, and a week in Montreal, where I took a one day bus trip to Quebec where I tried to relive my childhood memories when my parents had taken me there decades early where we spent a couple of days. I don't know if the aforementioned trains still exist, but it was magical!!! I always tell people who are younger than me (I'm 64), that if you're going to do any traveling do it when you are younger, because you never know what will happen once you get older. There are always cheapie ways to do things. ANY SORT of traveling is not possible these days because of both medical and financial situations.

I often thought about taking this trip, but chose not to follow through. Thank you for showing me what it's like!

Thank you for putting Australian $$$, not many vloggers do. Great journey Kugasan

❤❤❤ no music no talking, fantastic!

Kuga-san, I like the style of your videos. Thanks for sharing them.

'Thank you past me ....' 🤣

I've always wondered...Do you tell the people you are dining with that you'll be filming? 🤔 Or do they ever ask you why you film? Also, 12:35 is stunning! I did the Montreal>Halifax trip on VIA Rail many years ago - it was a fantastic experience!

Another great video! Thanks for taking us on the journey with you !

I travelled that train march 2001....timezone changes, caboose bar and a great white winterland all across Canada. Great tour.

Obrigado por legendar em português,🇧🇷🇧🇷 Curitiba PR, feliz Natal 🧑🏻‍🎄🧑🏻‍🎄👋🏻👋🏻♥️♥️♥️.

Thanks for another great video! Hope you had a great journey. Although for the money you paid I am amazed there wasn’t a turn down service - that you had to prepare your own bed. Looks like a beautiful way to cross a stunning country, but that price is hefty. Edit - also, if you need the toilet during the night, you have to raise then lower the bed?!

Thanks for sharing Kuga! I watched the whole thing and enjoyed it. You inspired me. Well, the flatlands of the prairies didn't as much, but they do have their own beauty, I guess. I live in Montreal and I'll consider the The Ocean train for Halifax. Glad you enjoyed the trip, enjoyed the food, and enjoyed Canada.

Thank you for creating and posting your wonderful train adventure. I live in Canada and have this on my travel list! Well done!!

Здравствуйте Куга! Очень люблю путешествовать с вами! Прекрасная поездка!

Your captions are hilarious!

Thank you so much! This is a beautiful video.. Canada looks like such a wonderful country to visit! Would love very much to take a trip there! ❤ Thank you again! 😊

Thank you for taking us along with you on your adventure. Would love to take the train tour through the Canadian Rockies someday. Canada is a beautiful country. Love from 🇺🇸!

I missed Winnipeg as my second hometown, living there for 17 years. always loved the quiet summer time there with lovely people. Thank you for your video so I can revisit Winnipeg with you. Cheers!

This train does not seem luxorious. It is quite charming and cute from the retrofit of old and new. Thank you for visiting Canada.

Kuga - from the land of top-notch infrastructure and deluxe rail travel - gets on board The Canadian. Me, from Canada: uh-oh 😂

I was also born in 1953. I vacationed in Ontario as a kid going fishing with my family on Rice Lake.

Kuga, This was an enjoyable trip because of your presentation. You did not bore me with insignificant information. Your posting of comments was perfect. I really enjoyed your sense of humor, your thank yous after each meal, and your placing the camera on you which further made me feel that I was actually travelling with you. Many thanks!
