    The Canadian, "berths no longer available"?

    I noticed discounted upper and lower berths available early May from Vancouver to Toronto For $2600 or so Canadian. There is no option to book one berth however. I assume you need to book both the upper and lower. All the bedrooms seemed to be sold out on many trips as well.

    The 'Ocean'......First Run! (with photos)

    Opps. My bad. My eyesight and small phone screen don’t always see eye to eye. I was replying to NS VIA Fan‘s post up thread asking if he had an update on the Skyline lounge possibly being added to the Ocean. Scroll back to an earlier post by NS VIA Fan and you can see the missing image.

    A Covid 'Atlantic Bubble' Road Trip (& some Trains too!)

    NS Via Fan. Here are a couple more pics I dug up of the Humber Valley from Marble Mountain. I have pic upon pic over the years but they all have someone in them and most of them are of the boys jumping out the trees LOL. The boys are pretty young here but the view is the same today. My wife's...

    A Covid 'Atlantic Bubble' Road Trip (& some Trains too!)

    NS Via Fan Thanks for showing me the link to this thread. I mentioned in your other thread in which we have been corresponding that I had a few photos related to this thread that may be of interest. I figured it best to put them on this thread so as not to highjack your "Ocean first Trip"...

    The 'Ocean'......First Run! (with photos)

    Thanks for the update. I grew up a few minutes drive from Marble. My mom and my wife’s parents still live there so we get out often to ski. My dad worked with CN until our railroad closed in 1988 and we often used his pass to travel to Ottawa to visit family. I took many summer trips throughout...

    Are there any lounge cars to hang out in on the Halifax to Montreal route or is one confined to your room for the entire trip? Is the skyline similar to the upstairs seating area on the Park Car?
