One of the very best train travel videos I have seen. The notes included made it even more interesting. This is the way that more of these programmes should be made. I watched it in one go. Thank you so much.
My great grandfather crossed Canada on the CPR in 1890-1 , then south to Seattle to visit a brother, and back through the US via Chicago to Toronto. In Chicago he visited with friends constructing the Canadian exhibit for the 1892 World’s Fair. His diary is in the Glenbow Museum in Calgary. I wonder what he would think about this fancy train?
A truly wonderful series of videos - thank you so much. I lived and worked in Tokyo for 2 years and visited Japan at least 50 times when I worked in Hong Kong. I love the country, its beauty, history, culture and people. I have also transited the Pacific and Atlantic many times but never by ship - always flights unfortunately. But I did a cruise on a small boat from Vancouver up to Glacier Bay not far from Juneau in Alaska which was stunning, and also a 2-day trip on the Rocky Mountaineer train from Vancouver to Banff. Equally stunning, especially seated in the panorama cars. I think I may have stayed in the same hotel in Vancouver as you - the Pan Pacific. Many thanks once again.
Thank you for a great video.At the age of 67 I traveled from Toronto to Vancouver in coach and met great people from all over Canada.The stops you recorded were great and brought back many memories as I only have still pics.My travel October 2009.Thank you again.
Hello from Vancouver. This was an excellent 3-part series, very well done! I'm happy to become a new subscriber. You completed an epic journey halfway around the globe that I would love to emulate someday. I look forward to your future adventures.
Thank you for taking videos of Jasper. The town lost many buildings after the forest fire went through the town 😢. Your video is probably the last one that the public saw before the 🔥 took the Town.

Hellow from Vancouver, BC, Canada. Time Index 21:05 - Yellowhead Pass is where you cross from the province of British Columbia into the province of Alberta ... it does not separates east and west coast of Canada.😜 Jasper, AB is only 20 minutes from Yellowhead Pass if you drive. You are still 4 time zones to the east coast of Canada ... fun fact: the land area of the province of British Columbia is LARGER than the land area of California, Oregon, and Washington State in the USA - combined.
I'm glad that you clarified this point, however, I would suggest to future visitors to Canada, that you not rely on many of the facts/statements mentioned in this video because they are incorrect.
Great video, thanks! The standard of this "best" nightliner train in Canada can at best be called modest, no comparison to the services offered on board the Queen Elizabeth or Queen Mary!
A few little points from the start of your lovely video: !) The Fraser River is actually the largest river on the west coast that is not dammed for HydroElectricity. Some of its tributaries are for small scale projects, but the Fraser itself remains undammed. The primary rivers used for power in British Columbia are the Peace River, which eventually flows into the Arctic Ocean, and the Columbia River, which crosses into the United States and eventually flows to the Pacific between Washington State and Oregon. 2) the two tracks through the Fraser Canyon are there because they're two independent railways, and have been since the early days of Canada. They were originally competitors, with the CP line being built first, and the CN being built a decade or so later. However, now, through the Canyon, the two railways cooperate and eastbound traffic flows on one track, and westbound traffic flows on the other.
Those Via cars are great looking on the outside but old & clunky on the inside. It's time Canada's railway system come into the 21 century. These passenger trains need to be modernized.
Well done! I’ve done the trip twice in my younger years the opposite way. I live outside Winnipeg and while land especially agricultural land has become far more expensive in my lifetime… It will still not compare to Japan simply because of the relative size of the countries and their populations. And yes the Simplot plant has a rail siding to ship product out, mostly to the United States. Enjoy your travels !
Siempre he tenido el deseo de atravesar Canada en tren, como también Estados Unidos. Por eso no me perdí ver este video. Quiera Dios que me conceda esta oportunidad algún día. Saludos desde Chile.
What an amazing video. Thank you so much!!! I do have a question please? What is the name of the ap you use to know the speed in which you are traveling? Thank you in advance! Happy travels. 😊
Oh the Empire Train is very scary compared to this video. But, the meals are luxurious on 1st class. But, it’s much smaller than this train. This train has more room to walk in. Try the Empire Railway in the U.S.
So far I watched up to 8:30. I noticed earlier in the video you said you could lock your cabin from the inside but not the outside. Then how would you stop other passengers from entering your cabin and stealing your belongings when you are not in your cabin?
Sorry but I think your title is a bit misleading since VIA rail does not operate a sleeper train from Vancouver to New York. Interesting fact about Winnipeg: almost all the staff who work on the Canadian reside in Winnipeg, making it easy for them to do crew changes in that city. @1:29:33 your lower third comment was you were arriving at Grand Central Terminal. But then a few seconds later your upper third says you are arriving at Grand Central Station. Fun fact: the difference between a Station and a Terminal is - a station trains pass through in both directions. A terminal, trains only come and stop and do not pass through, So your lower third was correct: it is indeed Grand Central Terminal.
53:58 Ain't no way a Karen made AN ENTIRE TRAIN WAIT FOR HER!!!! If I was the station manager, I would never have delayed an already late train even more just so ONE KAREN could board!!!
Just a clarification about the airport in Toronto. There were a couple comments about the airport you past on the tour boat. This is not THEE Toronto airport. It is an airport yes but it is a small airport on that island. That's why it's called the Toronto Island Airport. Smaller jets like a 737 or propeller planes tend to goi there. THEE Toronto airport is a huge International airport with several large terminals. It's called Pearson International Airport (YYZ).
@@ReservoirTip Ok smareass, I'm glaq youuuu caught thattt cause I never knew that in my 65 years. By using that the Emphasis was trying to show that what you saw was a secondary airport but THEE main one American or international passengers would use is Pearson, THEE main, bug, international, primary one. Maybe next time I'll use THY airport. I guess the nuance was too much for the lesser educated.
👍👍👍 Ich bin Deutscher und schaue erst seit kurzem wieder Eisenbahnvideos. Nur deshalb, das es ohne Sprache mit unentwegten Erklärungen ist, könnte eh kein Wort verfolgen und wäre abgelenkt, habe ich einiger dieser Videos komplett angeschaut. Die Untertitel sind fast schon zu viel, aber ein sehr sinnvolle Ergänzung zum Video. Ohne Erklärungen und in Deutsch, wüsste ich nichts und hätte vermutlich in dieser Länge nicht weitergeschaut. Ihre Videos sind erstklassig!
Economy class $515 Canadian Dollars, Sleeper plus has a berth option $648, Cabin for 1 $3,394 , Cabin for 2 $1,724, Prestige Class over $10,000. Of course these prices go up and down a little. These prices are for one person. Depends on the date also.
1:27:57 this train is from poughkeepsie to grand central these runs express the train next to it is a local electric train that doesn't have a bell and instead will sound the horn
53:58 I am surprised they stopped the whole train just for that one passenger. That wouldn’t happen in the USA, they would’ve just left her behind and rightfully so
If that's Canada's best sleeper train, I'd rather go bike packing and camp somewhere in the woods :D I get that this train is really old, but still... Who would use a toilet in his sleeping place with just a curtain separating it from the corridor. Yikes.
Just watched a similar video from Toronto to Vancouver. The blogger has over a million subscribers, but his video is much worse than your masterpiece! Don't give up on this, please, make travel films. You have talent! ua-cam.com/video/YtkasasyA2w/v-deo.html
WARNING!!...IF YOU LOVE YOUR PET/PETS..YOU WILL NOT TRAVEL WITH VIA RAIL ACROSS CANADA..AS FAR AS I KNOW THE BAGGAGE CAR WHERE THE PETS ARE STILL DONT HAVE TEMP CONTROL OR AIR CONDITIONING AND YOUR PET/PETS WILL DIE IF YOU TRAVEL DURING A HEATWAVE..i should have sued via rail..

Thank you for taking videos of Jasper. The town lost many buildings after the forest fire went through the town 😢. Your video is probably the last one that the public saw before the 🔥 took the Town.
I'm deeply sorry to hear about the devastation in Jasper! I hope the town can begin to rebuild soon 😢
Sorry to hear about the devastation in Jasper. Such a beautiful town; hope to visit someday soon after it's rebuilt!
Yes, this must have been right before the fire happened. I wonder what date the video was actually filmed? @solotraveljournal ?
Exactly my thoughts. Observation deck indeed is accessible by ski lift cabin. We did that back in april 2022 and then went for hiking
日本では、運転席には入れてくれへんやろうから、素晴らしい経験と映像ですね！
そして、やはり語学は習得して損はないんですね🎉カッコいい🎉

The waterfall was gorgeous!
Excellent video, Very easy and pleasant to watch with no Selfies or Face Shots. Thank you.

1:00:05 The wooded area is deep in the heart of the city, not the outskirts, but is the undeveloped and scenic Don River Valley.

火車旅遊也不錯呀! 比我們從渥太華搭長途公車五個小時去多倫多旅遊快多了, 只是留在城市逛的時間就不多吧?! 可能要買兩次旅遊票, 旅遊城市後, 才再搭火車回到原住城市.
Please return and visit Toronto again. We have large Chinese and Japanese communities.

Did you try the Rocky Mountaineer?
46:20 - це була рамка безпеки для залізниці, для визначення як перегрузу, так і інших сторонніх небезпечних речей
The small locomotive was a caboose always used to mark the end of a train. We don’t see them anymore.
Huge thanks for sharing experience I love every minute. Awesome views in Canada mostly thanks for u so much . Just one question cost of trip ?
Wow, but I've always liked Amtrak, it's the biggest railroad in North America!
Good Canada best Seleper train good Sleeping in train & travel beautiful
❤ thanks ❤
Гуси были журавлями!😊
I didn't realize that the Canadian train had printed schedules in Japanese and Chinese.
Wow nice contrnt

Did you actually go to sleep on the train holding a glass of water?
No wonder my bed was wet. LOL
sounds like ya be in a cafe - best do it by freight train as me do it -
Do they charge extra to ride in the Dome Car?
The uphoilstery appears to be vinyl. Isn't that uncomfortable?

Well if u end up in prison u live with a toilet by your bedside 😂😂😂

There's a solid locking sliding door. There's also a couple of washrooms at the other end of the car if you prefer.
Compared to Japan standards this rail line is a joke. Old and tired coaches book a flight!
Way too costly for old tired coaches

Five days are too long. It would be more enjoyable if it is just one day and one night.
I have traveled this train the worst service and food possible
The Amtrak 1st Class is better for their remarkable cuisine. The Empire train railway is fantastic for its service.
Amtrak doesn't come close to the cuisine on this train.
Canada's trains are garbage. Nothing new. All old.
