- My father and I spent 10 days traveling by trains. We departed Chatham, ON station via train 76 to Toronto on 03/02/2024. The following day we boarded train 1 to Vancouver arriving on 03/07/2024. For this video we boarded train 2 and returned back to Toronto. It was a great trip and I can't wait to do it again one day.

Fantastic experience of train 🚂 travel from Vankuver to Toronto in Canada, Rocky mountains scenic beauty.
I'm a "train-a-holic" myself. I've traveled over 250,000 km by train since 1955 when I rode in a Parlor car behind a steam engine between Montreal-Ottawa. I've taken The Canadian 51x since 1964 plus spent entire month of May 1987 in Australia traveling by train including the Indian-Pacific both ways. I also spent 2 weeks traveling in UK June 1990 when BritRail still existed. BTW the trip Toronto-Vancouver only took 67 hours up until the 1980s.
What great memories, glad you took such great videos, I can relive our trip, thanks Kyle for this.
Both great videos going east and westbound on the Canadian Kyle
After watching both of your videos, I’m glad I picked the westbound journey next month
That way, the anticipation can build all the way across Canada and save the best part for last. The crossing of the Rocky Mountains heading into Jasper and eventually into Vancouver
You made a wise choice, you could feel the excitement coming from everyone build as we got closer to the mountains. It really was a much more fun direction to take. It was sad to have to say goodbye when we all went our separate ways at our final destination. Hope you have an amazing trip and I can't wait to go again!
Thanks for the journey! We will be taking this same train after an Alaskan cruise then taking Amtrak back to Florida.
You will love it! After being on both Amtrak and Via, Via just sets the bar really high. What time of year will you be riding?
July. Unfortunately no snow for beauty, fortunately not -25 degrees.
I was in Vancouver in May. Love the city but it is so expensive. Would love to do this train journey. I was here for an Alaskan cruise all the way from Australia 🇦🇺
Just booked my second trip of the year bedroom f my usual , late Oct return in early nov should be nice and quiet like your trip great job by the way!
I expect everyone to visit this beautiful country.ENJOY.
Thanks! I really enjoyed that. I'll be taking a shortened return trip, starting and ending in Edmonton, over Christmas 2024. I board on Christmas eve and return home late on New Year's Eve. I can't wait!
It's such a great trip! Enjoy! I can't wait to go again
Hi Kyle, we are takeing the Canadian RT in February, with one nite in Vancouver like you did, did you start to get bored on return to Toronto? My wife is worried about that much time on a train, any advice appreciated! Thanks, John

Personally, I love trains so everything about it was great. I thought the trip went by extremely fast and we are doing in again next March. I would advise she bring a good book or tablet to watch some shows or Netflix, etc. If you do that be sure to download before you leave as there is NO reliable service on the train. I brought one book and barely finished it by the time we got back as there is so much to see outside the train.
Remember, they do offer daily activities such as wine or beer tastings, bingo, trivia, and movie nights in the lounge area under the dome car. There are board games, puzzles, etc as well. I found the journey west to be much busier and exciting, the train was only about half full on the return to Toronto. I would do it every year if I could. Enjoy your trip!
