    Trip Report Video on The Canadian - 73 tips and suggestions

    Thanks. It’s gorgeous here just like Maine. Nothing better than a pre-breakfast walk along the clifts and Atlantic Ocean, right in our downtown. Lucky you, I read that the route you took is much better. My entire life I wanted to see the famous Morant’s Curve near Lake Louise. I finally got to...

    I took the Canadian from Vancouver to Toronto Oct 27-31 2023. I did a shorter 39 minute video around seven months ago with grand plans do a second longer video including pretty much my entire collection of IPhone and GoPro video clips and still images. It took months to get back at the project...

    VIA Rail Canadian and the Canadians

    I stayed in a lower berth May 2022 and October 2023. I charged my stuff in the bathroom. At times I would boost up my phone in the Park Car. The seats in the bullet lounge have a outlet. Note that the Park was not available until After 4 pm on Days 2,3 and 4. On both trips there were only...

    Canadian Trip Off Season: Fall or Spring

    I rode eastbound May 6 2022 and Oct 27 2023. Both were great. There will be more daylight hours in April. I am going again Nov 1 2024. The clocks change on night 3 so it will be dark pretty early on our last two nights.

    Video Travelogue - “The Canadian” Vancouver to Toronto Oct 27-31 2023

    Not one minute of doubt. The only issue was we arrived two hours early and the last morning was rushed. I did the trip with my oldest son in May 2022 and could not wait to go again. That trip was late so it was about 6 hours longer. I was hoping it we would be late again this time. I really...

    VIA New Corridor Trains - 2021 - 2024 Updates

    I guess I should be happy with the new VIA information displays. I was hoping they would add the current travel speed, distance to next stop, time of arrival next stop.

    Yes once the TCH was completed coast to coast the passenger train was doomed.
