I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. As a British Columbian who has driven coast to coast I find Saskatchewan scenery pretty boring (I know some people like prairies, just not my bag). Guess I'm not much for prairies. There is so much beauty across this country, but I think the Rockies beats everything. I always know once I hit the Rockies when I've been away that I am close to home. I live on Vancouver Island which has incredible natural beauty.

I'm a New Zealander but my wife is Canadian Born (Nova Scotia) We're visiting Canada in August/September to see relatives. She is not a train buff but I am and I'm booked in the Canadian to Vancouver while she flies. Your video has helped convince me to do it. And actually I have travelled on the longest in the world. The Trans-Siberian from Vladivostok to Moscow in 2005. I did it in two sections first to Irkutsk (3 days) to visit lake Baikal, then to Moscow (4 more days) Not luxurious at all but great fun. Apart from Putin Russians are fun loving even if there's a language barrier. One day it'll all come right for Russia and that journey is spectacular especially in the East.

When I lived in Canada (Toronto) in the 1990s I took Via Rail across Canada in the winter and it was so incredibly memorable. I remember seeing the Aurora Borealis and the beauty of the country. If I hadn't already been in love with Canada, that train trip would've done it. Thank you for bringing back so many happy memories for me with this one.

Gotta love VIA Rail! I'm German as well and I just had my first ride ever with them yesterday. Their employees are so friendly, organized, calm and generous. It doesn't matter for me that it's not the most "on time service" because the German train isn't as well, but this is pretty much the only similarity between those two. "Love the way" is probably the best slogan they could have come up with. Really looking forward to my next trip with them!

Hey Michael, since you have had a German with you, I recommend you check out Germany next. You are always welcome to visit Germany. There wont be such great food on the trains and dome cars only on historic trains, however, the landscape and the cities and villages make up for it. Also keep up the great work and your positive vibe. Greetings from Germany. :)

A great alternative to flying! I rode on The Canadian back in 1959, when it was CP (going through Calgary); and again in 2017, using the more northerly CN route. The food was excellent and the dome car (one of four) was my go-to perch. The train was about 24 cars long, so it provided a great view of the cars snaking around the curves when in the rear dome. The only downer was having to wait 30 to 45 minutes for the higher-priority freight train to pass. I hope videos like this encourage more train travel! Note: CP denotes Canadian Pacific and CN denotes Canadian National. Now it's just VIA Rail.

Hi ! I really enjoyed your video. Best I've seen so far. I made this trip in 1968, 55 years ago ! Then, Via Rail didn't exist but the train was very like yours. It went from Montreal then to Vancouver. I stopped off in Jasper, camped out in the Rockies for a while. It was cold ! Then took off for Calgary, through the mountains. Amazing scenery. Saw some friends there, took another bus back to Edmonton, rejoined the train to Vancouver. A very memorable trip. Too old to go anywhere now. Thanks for the revived memories.

The essential thing that everyone should be thinking about right now is investing in non-government sources of income. Especially in light of the current global economic crisis. It is still a wonderful moment to invest in gold, silver, digital money, and stocks.

Best memory of riding Van-Tor - one late evening, found myself riding solo in the park car's dome, and asked the attendant to kill the dome lights as he closed up shop. Let the glow of the moon and the signals just glisten off the top of the Budd cars. So strangely tranquil. Wished it never ended.

"Try the gray stuff, it's delicious" and the beautiful 'REAL' dishes! We don't see this on AMTRAK I'm afraid, nowadays. The food looked very good, better than average as well! I appreciate you & your wonderful 'vlogs' of travel to somewhere with us along for the fun and educational experiences. Thank you, Michael.

Loved this video. My son & I went coach from Vancouver to Montreal return at Christmastime in 1980. In Jasper, the doors were frozen with thick ice. Brought our sleeping bags. Great memories! ❤

Good job showcasing Winnipeg! The station there is truly fantastic. Showing the Fort Garry hotel was a nice touch too! Wonderful building.
