Hi Preston. I was on the train with you and we had lunch the last full day. Excellent video. You definitely have a talent for telling stories. Keep it up.
is this the real jim?
hi legend I hope you make it till 100 🥰
you better start that podcast! ima for sure watch it!
Jim 'Happy Belated Birthday' sir! You are indeed doing it right and apparently have been for 90 years. I bet Preston was quite the character, he seems full of life. Cheers to you mate!

Heya Preston! We met on the train-I was the short redhead that was usually hanging out with Cassie and her partner. :) You are *so lucky* to have been on this particular train. I've ridden it a couple more times since this journey (since I don't fly, I take the train everywhere) and they were not nearly as magical of an experience. Getting to ride The Canadian with so few people onboard, and with such amazing folks like Cassie and crew, was so fantastic. It'll never be the same! I'm so happy that you captured the magic of this particular ride on The Canadian for us all to either remember, or experience vicariously for the many, many viewers you have that weren't onboard!
Tanya!!!! Wow I’m so glad you found me! What a delight to see this comment pop up :) super cool to hear how special that ride was from your perspective as well! I feel like we will all remember that one for a long time. Give the Canadian a hug from me the next time you ride 🫡
@@prestongoes idk if you’ve done this but you should do some type of video with Legos
Also hi Tanya
As a knitter, this part made me so happy!! I was trying to figure out exactly which patterns they were working on and which yarn they were using!
Hi Tanya
THIS is the kind of content we need on UA-cam! Genuine stories that leave something real with you. I have been thinking about this video and your channel as a whole a lot lately. I would love to chat sometime!
Lucky you can just do that. I wish I could do a train ride like this, but I can't go far from my local hospital.
Enjoy trips like this for people who can't! Take care!

Hello Chris!

Yooooooo
All I can say is I just accidentally stumbled on this channel 25 minutes ago as I was looking at camping videos and I like this guy's personality and the views he captured are amazing! I need to watch more of this guy's content
I stumbled here as well, not even sure how it happened. But very glad I did.
Omg i was doing the exact same thing and I ended up watching the whole video and I liked it
same here, he reminds me of ryan trahan 😊
I have no clue. How I found him but I like him
Jim faking a heart attack at his surprise party… a master at work, gentlemen!
Preston, glad you took this trip. Burnout is real, especially when you’ve been pushing like you have been. I hope it was refreshing for you, and thank you for sharing it with all of us in such a creative way. You rock at this.
Any update on Jim's podcast? @prestongoes
The way you hid the painting by blurring it out kept making me think that it was something inappropriate. 😂
I was on this train! It made me emotional to see all these familiar faces! The people are truly what made this trip life changing ❤❤
15:39 random note but seeing Bison alive in numbers is beautiful and heartwarming. Rdr2 gave me a newfound love for the animal we nearly put to extinction. Anyway, great video, love the comments as well. Really great video, Preston!
If you think about it, we’re all just trash pandas consuming the trash of the internet. Except Preston’s trash is from a five star restaurant so it’s delicious.
lol, weird analogy, but i know what you mean.

I live by the rockeys and can confirm they are beautiful
That was very well worded!
Earl Grey missed a trick. Could have called it the Tea Cup.
Had to edit this. Nearly cried at the beauty of Jim's surprise. Such a simple thing, but so heart-warming. It's a birthday I am certain he will remember for the rest of his long years, and will be something John will be able to recall when spending time with his dad. The beauty of such a small act of kindness is incredible.
This was more then a vlog. It was a message and a lesson. I think this was one of your best videos to date.
...than...
100%! I laughed, I cried, and didn't want it to end. This guy is one of the best on here, bar none!
How our parents got to school every day
Haha so true 😂
A tip from a biologist Canadian, when breathing in the cold do your best to do so through your nose as it is has specialized structures to heat up and moisten the air as it goes into your lungs. As well on the way out it conserves water. (That's why your nose drips in the cold!)
As someone living in the far north of Sweden where we get - 40C at times, I know to breath through my nose, but I didn't know exactly why. Thank you for that little piece of information!
This is very usefull i live in a part of north america that gets to -50c at times but thanks for the new info
@@sebastiancph
@@sebastiancph as someone from finland where we also get -40 at times i did not think to breathe through my nostrils
though i am happy to know this information now!
I live in Minnesota closest thing to Canada in the continuous US and I always find it funny seeing people in the cold that live in California while I’m out here with short and a t shirt on a nice warm 40F (4.4 C) it definitely doesn’t get as cold as -40 C I’ve only lived through something colder than that once and that’s when it was -45.5 C for 3 days
Hands down favorite travel video I’ve seen. It has your special touch and showcases human relationships in a way which reflects such genuine connection. Taking what could be a weird thing (having a camera on fellow travelers) and turning it into something appreciated by all because you documented a beautiful journey is something not so easily accomplished. Your kind spirit and sense of humor really makes you the hero we want to follow in this story and I thank you for sharing it so well with such a fun video. Your songs are so awesome. I love your content.
Wow. Just wow. I am blown away by your story telling ability. The world needs more of this, keep up the great work man 🫶
Horizon
this video felt just like a wholesome movie and i loved every single second of it, it was so beautiful to see people interacting with each other, no bad intentions just good vibes. :)
THIS IS WHAT I LOVE ABOUT TRAVELING ALONE!!!! The connections that you make are the best.
Ended up on positive side of youtube
Seriously Preston, WOW! UA-cam needs to pick up your algo ASAP because you are creating things that are so heartfelt, real, and just a delight to spend time on. I can't wait for you to reach multi-million sub status and keep doing what you're doing! You are incredible and thanks for making content on UA-cam!
That was brilliant. You have a gift for meeting people, and drawing them all into your adventure. The surprise 91st birthday Party for Jim got me right in the feels. Dad's are indeed special. Those of us lucky enough to have them still around should always be grateful, Truly great work sir.
Just finished watching this video is math, Greatest 22 minutes of my life🔥😂
McDeezy is such a humble and kind humans being for supporting smaller channels
its so wholesome to see large channels like prestongoes support smaller channels like McDeezy_ 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
hi!
You are really special man. I had a rough today, somebody stole my phone and I just felt depressed because I was worried about my finances. I didn't feel good and I blamed myself for not being careful. Mongolia is a tough country. The society can be very harsh. And I've been trying my best for the last 2 years to try and live my life in Mongolia. And I wanted to give up. but your videos gave me a new hope. your innate positivity, and optimism is very contagious. Thank you so much Preston. Your light helped me find my light. Lots of love, from Mongolia!!
Pleasure working on this with you man 🤝 I'm so proud of how this came out!
legendary
He told me about you... Please bro leave him, he doesn't feel comfortable around u 🙏
Nice work dawg
Thanks dude! I love your 30 day taco Bell video lol @@therealsamreid

Awesome, absolutely awesome! Upbeat, wholesome, creative and entertaining! This is my fist video on your channel and I hope to stay on for more.
I like train travel and I'm glad you had a great time!
Warmest greetings from St.Petersburg, Russia!
Embracing the change is kind of poetic for me right now. I moved to Wisconsin from Washington for a job. So new job, new state, new car, new friends, new apartment, new environment, new weather, everything in my life is new and different. Thanks for the reminder that change is good. I've probably grown more in the last four months than I have the last year. Thanks for a great video. Look forward to more!
Your videos are so genuine and passionate, it's a breath of fresh air. It feels like you do things and then make videos out of them rather than doing things JUST to make videos, if that makes sense. You're so alive and so aggressively you, it's great to see.
Beautiful thumbnail
edit: Just got round to watching this, such a beautiful story man!

Hi Zac
All of UA-cam is at this vid
1:17 As a Indian, i recognise that language slang
Me too the second he started. I was damn that sounds familiar
An*
im a sap and this had me tearing up the whole time with a smile . really inspiring video and im glad you stepped out of your comfort zone. You're one of the coolest doing it rn
This is the most wholesome thing I have seen in years thank you for making this video. I feel like it has boost my confidence. This is the kind of videos that we need to see on the Internet. Thank you.
As a Canadian train enthusiast, this is my natural habitat!
Your train had such nice people on it, i'm really happy for you!
Great job! :D
what an awesome video. You lifted me right up from germany in the rocky mountains. So inspirational how you manage to get new friends in every situation and how amazing these people are!! Really lovely!
Your cinematography is absolutely amazing!! The four day family you made seemed wonderful and everyone was so cheerful, keep up the great work!
why was i getting so emo when y'all were singing for jim's birthday and when the rockies appeared 😭 love how you used music recommended by ariel and that final montage was gorgeous :,) i have been looking at long train rides for my next trip and this was such incredible inspiration
Such a feel good video!! Laughed, teared up, felt a whole spectrum of emotions. And Mohammed coming in early with the great advice for the whole trip! People love meeting kind people 🥹 so proud of you for doing this!!
This is the first video I’ve come across by yourself and I can’t explain the feeling of comfort and joy I got from watching your train journey and all the people you met, learning about their lives through you felt very special - I felt honoured 😊
Makes me went to go a long train trip someday too! 🚞
Preston your storytelling, style, and energy is incredible… but even more so, your kindness is captivating. Thanks for creating beautiful art that inspires 💛
i've seen this video in my recommended for about two weeks and for no good reason I just went ahead and played it. this is such good content. great little chunk of life. thanks!
Your talents are a gift! Glad you’re able to share with so many people on UA-cam but also in real life.
O wow I just discovered this channel! You are journalist,cameraman,editor,singer,singer-songwriter,performer,producer,host and first foremost seems you’re amazing human! Well done 👏 how refreshing to see someone to use properly all talent they are gifted with ❤️🙏🏼
that was by far the best video shorted dacumentary ive ever seen in terms of cutting, humor, inspiration, kindness and a whole lot of other incredible things to take along with u... thanks a lot and keep it up!
This is my most favorite video of yours! Videos that bring a story to the table. A story that shows growth, a story that shows friendship. This is a great video.
so wholesome and entertaining! the internet needs more of this!
You should be editing and writing Hollywood films my friend. The best, even meaningful video I have ever seen. Keep it up and never quit.
Such a fun video
Hey Tyler, you never got back to me about giving me your UA-cam plaque on Instagram :)
How many times since you made the emergency call phone for mr beast has it gone off?
Hilarious! I also messaged him, but like you no reply. What makes it sadder for me,@@macmosss, is that I'm in my late 40's.
😿🤣
Love
This is genuinely one of my favorite videos ever on UA-cam. I have shown everyone I know and we all agree it’s not for a fraction of the recognition it deserves.
I CRIED. Several times, and laughed many more. What a beautiful work of love you have put out. Kudos dude 💖🤘🏻
Never wished there was more to a UA-cam video until now.. Really and truly inspiring. Thank you for making this video..
Well done Preston you did EXCELLENT work , I can tell you out so much love & effort into it all ❤ congrats!
11:21 Jim Hopper became my favorite character in Stranger Things.
And just seeing this scene made me start binge watching the show again.
Just Discovered Your Channel, One Word, Fabulous, And More Fabulous!! I Did That Trip Several Times. Thanks, Greetings From San Diego.🌴
Preston lowkey deserve 10 mil subs
High key 👀
I just discovered you here and these are great vids to help me unwind after long nights/days at work! Thanks for sharing your experiences with us! I just wanted you to know it’s really appreciated! Especially to those of us stuck in the daily grind!
Your videos are fantastic man. They’re refreshing and different in the best way possible. It’s really cool to see something new on the platform. love your work and video style. keep killing it. ❤
Before I was born, my mother and father actually lived on a circus train, they worked for the ringling brothers it was cool
Thank you for this masterpice I have watched your videos for a while now and this was my favorite of yours! your story telling is unmatched.
Omg!! I loved this video ! It was more like a mini documentary about the spirit of train travel , rather than a travel vlog . I’m taking this trip by myself next year as my parents did the reverse trip back in 1967 when they met face to face for the first time ( they had been penpals for 2 years prior ). My dad is Scottish and living in Australia and my mum is Jamaican living in Canada . I’m actually an Aussie , as after 2.5 years of living in Canada , they immigrated back here . Seeing your video made me smile and wonder what life was like on that train back then ❤
Another amazing video. Thank you for creating beautiful things, Preston!
Mohammad gives good advice
That's a home run! Great concept, editing, message, everything! Keep it up
This was an AWESOME watch!!! I have grown up in CO and take the beauty of the mountains for granted, sometimes. I always love seeing people experience them for the first time.
I laughted, got inspired, got emotional, and that in only 23 minutes. Your story telling is just amazing ! Thanks a lot for this video ✨
Great video! Brings back memories of the train trips I took with my grandparents and my brother, who's passed now, in the early 80s. Love watching the scenes through the dome car.
It's so fun seeing Preston's UA-cam journey! Been here since day 1! Keep it up man! Love your videos!
My mom and I are taking this trip. I was excited before but after seeing this I can hardly wait! Thanks for sharing.
So so good man. The world needs more of this 🙌🏼
I think this is one of the best videos I have watched on videos for many reasons actually one being on how raw it was. Jst a man excited to be on a train, randomly meeting some lovely people all of them with a story in their hand. What more can a person even want ❤❤
You may have inspired this old western Canadian to try that train ride sooner than later. Thanks! 👍
The way you told such a personal story, captured the best moments, found unique camera angles, and really showed the perspective of the rocky mountains was absolutely incredible. I love the work of art you have here.❤
Man I just love your whole vibe. Best travel vlog on UA-cam rn, dare I say! Keep it up brother. Love your content
This was a great video to watch and i appreciate how great and fun your personality is! You really made the video far more entertaining than i thought it was. Keep it up!
Wow. That's incredible. Thanks, Preston. You always deliver the BEST videos on the internet.
Blown away by all the connections you made on this trip. What an amazing journey.
Muhammad’s advice should be took from everyone in Canada
His advice should be taken by us all.
Omg how am i just seeing this now? It’s morgan, i was your activity coordinator doing the beer/wine tastings and the games with y’all! This is probably one of the best videos ive seen and im so glad to have been a part of it!
Morgan!!!!! This was such a blast thanks for hosting such a great trip 🫡
Makes me feel so optimistic for humanity seeing all the lovely interactions in this video. Beautiful edit too!! ❤️
This is just like full circle of short film
I hope I celebrate my 91st birthday in the rockies with you
I didn’t think I was going to enjoy this as much as I did!
I just loved it. There’s something special that you’ve got. Keep it alive.
New bucket list item btw. Gotta go see that painting😉
I almost passed the video .I've seen so many train videos, but I am glad I didn't. Such a beautiful storytelling video. It is the best I've seen by far.
I don't understand why people still get sponsored by better help. they have such a bad history. they sell personal answers that they say specifically that only your therapist will see. if you value online safety don't get use better help.
So glad I discovered this video!! I'm in the UK but my grandparents travelled this rail line around 1910 and I have some fantastic rail photos taken by them back then. My husband and I have a visit to Vancouver at the top of our bucket list and I'd love to get there via this rail journey.
The internet needs more of this
yeah so i cried at the end of day three thanks for the existential crisis at 4 am this video is a masterpiece how do you not have more views?!?!?!?
Rocky Mountain Magic! What an incredible journey! Loved the surprise birthday celebration for Jim and that Train Song is a vibe! 🎉
Aa someone who grew up, and still lives getting to see the Rocky Mountains every day, it’s refreshing to see the excitement in someone seeing it for the first time! I hope you had an amazing trip!
You gotta try the maple syrup, it’s divine.
I agree a lot especially those maple syrup cream cookies there the best
The croutons did it for me
Normally in these sorts of videos, people gloss over the people they met along the way (Probably because they don't wanna film them without their consent etc)
But seeing you hang out with people, chat with people, and not to mention the surprise party for Jim! that was bloody amazing to see. felt really refreshing.
Really made Mohammed's advice at the start ring through
Seeing this as a teenager makes me want to travel so badd and i will laterr
4 days of life and to see someone who maybe you were destined to be with and share genuine precious moments with that no one can take away.you will always think of these no longer strangers as friends that you will miss....aha and you also with only 4 days with learned even more so to enjoy the moments ever so much more....warm healthy wishes to the people in this video..........and many more TRUE moments..................as always........my Mom would always say to me...TONY learn to rest your mind your body your soul and spirit..........and thats what your trip was as well...............................i sure miss that lady.........
We should be careful who we partner with to sponsor our videos and make sure we thoroughly review their backgrounds before pitching their company. All that aside, what a fantastic trip this must’ve been, a great video, and awesome sound design of course!
oh my, I laughed SO FREAKING HARD at the pseudo-auto-tuned-better-help section, it was a genre of therapy of its own magical kind!
Preston, dude your content is awesome. Super love the videos about the GoKart ride to that bridge (absolutely worth it considering the view tho, ngl). But I do have to say you definitely need to choose better sponsors. BetterHelp has been in so many scandals it's unreal. Leaking data to Facebook? You want to promote that? I understand you need to eat and pay for the video somehow, but there's other, more ethical ways of doing it. Hope you change your viewpoint.
I love your storytelling, your camera work, your editing style. Truly amazing.
One of the best youtube videos i have ever watched with amazing storytelling and scenery. I know you dont usually do travelling videos but please do more of these.
Wholesome. Perfect. One of the best videos on UA-cam. Never stop doing these man.
jim seems so sweet along with everyone else. somehow this restores some faith in humanity. we need more videos like this. spreading kindness along with unique experiences. keep it up!
I honestly think this might be the best video on UA-cam. It's a masterclass in storytelling and engaging content. So good and I am so happy I stumbled on it!
I watch a ton of travel vlogs and I have to say, this is the best one I've ever seen! Such a joy to watch. The stories and the meaning behind those stories were masterfully told and recorded! You, my friend, are amazing! Keep up the great work, and yes, I will be subscribing.
Dude, your positivity is refreshing. God Bless you
