Thanks for the assistance. I did the trailer and my first few short videos on both my iPad and iPhone using iMovie. Space is limited on both devises for doing a longer edited video. It took some time but I figured out iCloud and stored my video clips there while travelling. I also realized...

Thanks for the info. I will check it out. Did you hear or use the free version of Divincii Resolve. I might try that. Getting ready for lunch now on The Ocean. All the best.

I plan on doing a longer version. It could be a while however. The short trailer was done on the apple iMovie template. I did a few longer videos on my tablet with the iMovie app but I learnt pretty quickly that the GoPro video clips are big. To do a longer version I need to look into...

I put together a short 1 minute video clip of my trip on the Ocean in early February. The trip was great. My son enjoyed his first VIA Rail trip but like his mom he said he would rather fly lol. He took the fast route home with his mom. Not me, I am going it alone and making the return...

Rake is another new term for me. Thanks for info.

Thanks for the info. There is another engine or two that are a bit different than those in the video but I don’t know my engine types yet. I will eventually look them up. I have learned plenty since I found this site. The first was the word “consist“. I never heard of that before this site...

Are my dad‘s HO model CN passenger cars an accurate representation of those used pre-Via Rail? Were these trains painted and used by Via Rail in the late 70’s? Here is a link to a video of me playing with dad’s HO model trains videoed with the new GoPro that I plan on using during my February...

Thanks. I try and learn at least one new thing everyday lol. I did not know the dining cars were named after CP hotels. I also never heard of the Palliser Hotel in Calgary either. So I picked up two new tidbits today. Have a great Christmas and safe travels.

Thanks. I found this page which shows that Craig and Blair Manor are actual rolling stock. https://corpo.viarail.ca/en/projects-infrastructure/train-fleet/manor-sleeping-car

I looked through the boxes of HO Model Train stuff that belonged to my late father, a long time CNR railroader. I decided on VIA Rail for my first consist and the Imovie app for my foray at video editing. Are the following car numbers and names based on current or past VIA rolling stock? I put...

Thanks.

I am booked in Car 1539 Unit 6 going from Halifax to Ottawa and Car 1439 Unit 6 on my return. I assume it is the same car and room both ways as the train numbers are 15 westward bound and 14 going east. Since they no longer turn the train around in Halifax does this mean that I will be forward...

Thanks for sending the route or root lol. The eyes did not pick up the auto typing mistake on my little phone screen lol.

If I recall correctly the Maritime Bus from Truro leaves for the airport around the same time or a bit earlier than the Trains arrival time. That option is crossed off my list lol.

I would have to line a taxi up prior to arrival in Truro. Ya, the skis and boots are the problem. Going up my wife is taking our skis on her flight up so we will only have a knapsack and boot bag. I’m staying longer and hope to ski a few days with my son at the small ski hills near Ottawa...

I will keep an eye on this site for updates. We were looking at the trip through Mongolia into Beijing. Have you done that root?

Perfect. Thanks for the reply. I noticed you can track the train live on their website and Monday’s arrival was almost two hours late into Halifax. Any delays beyond that would make a close connection for the 10:10 pm flight home, especially if the roads are icy or covered with snow. Speaking...

Hi Seaboard92, Thanks for bringing us along on your trip. Quite fascinating. By far the most interesting trip report I had the pleasure of reading. For a few years now my oldest son said he would take the Trans Siberian Railway trip with me during his two month break upon graduation in...

Is The Ocean generally on time for the posted arrivals times in both Montreal and Halifax? Going west I have just under two hours in Montreal (no baggage) before catching my train to Ottawa and going east my arrival time is 5:57 pm and I'm considering booking a flight home at 10:10 pm. I will...
