Hey guys! I decided to try something new and I reviewed a Train this week! I hope you guys enjoyed! If you want to see more Train and Airline Videos let me know :)

Should I try an overnight train / Economy on VIA Rail next time?

I’ve found trains to be generally more clean and comfortable than any other form of transportation. It’s nice to be able to just get there, get on, and let someone else do all the driving. And to explain delays that both Via and Amtrak experience, it’s not their fault. The freight companies that actually own the tracks always put passenger trains at the lowest possible priority so freight always comes first. It’s a rule that passengers should always come first but nobody enforces it so freight companies always put their own trains as the highest priority.

as a canadian, i know viarail, and it's weird how it's the only train company that travels you across the country, especially the land size of my country. There's another train company that travels through toronto that I've been to, it's called GO transit.

Wow dude your video is awesome. I am also a travel KZfaqr that I just started. But your video is so professionally presented. And the way you explain everything is flawless. I can learn a lot here. Please post more videos. I love trains. More than planes for travel actually. Especially the old vintage trains. I look forward to future videos you post friend.

I really enjoyed this video. Well done 👍 Also the reason why trains are better most of the time is cause trains could have unlimited carts to pull and planes are limited to like 200/300 seats which means the seats are more compact to be able to fit more people on the flight. And yes, you should DEFINITELY do more train videos! They’re awesome!

love your video....besides the planes...liked the food ones also..... KEEP DOING SUCH INTERESTING VIDOES....THANKS

Wow love the video. I would love to see more videos on trains!

Wishing you safe travels dude! One day somthing might go wrong so be safe!

Just like the polar express but canadian

Love your vids Eric! Like last time keep doing what you love doing.

Love your content keep up the good work

Early gang! Love your videos can you try post more on the weekends instead of the weekdays cause more people have school and got alot of hw. ty.

You should go on Amtrak. Amazing video as always. 😁

This vid is amazing love your videos keep up the amazing work ❤

I love the videos! Keep it up!

That was a very great video eric!!!!

Eric whenever you do these vids a smile comes in my face

Love your videos YOU ARE GREAT!!!

I enjoy travelling on via rail. I am more of an aviation guy, but while I was in school near Kingston I travelled back to Kitchener every weekend using VIA rail. Transportation is awesome!

I reccomend "The Ocean" via rail line. Awesome videos! Have a good day!

YAYY ITS A GOOD DAY WHEN ERIC UPLOADS!!!

Man very nice video but this that train is a pardise for my country(Greece) a masive crash happens days ago. Thanks

I love riding a train. It's litterly just so good, and it's not so stressfull on a train station. Plus you get a nice expiriance, and you get to be on your phone and computer. So trains are lovely. It's extra nice if you go out with the train to mountain, the nice view. I love trains!!!!

I'm a train fanatic and I love via rail. I loved this video and I encourage you to do more of tem. If you want to learn more on the via rail trains, just let me know!

Another benefit to rail travel, is being able to hop on and off the train in major metropolitan or downtown cores, whereas airports are always located on the outskirts of a city. Trains are more convenient for short travel if time is not an issue. For me to get to Pearson, the easiest route is driving 100% of the way there. For me to get to Union, I can drive to the nearest go train.

You should try out some of the high speed rail lines in Europe. Many of them are actually faster than a plane ride (including the time in the airport)

I really liked the video so I think you should do more train videos

Eric can you try Qantas Airlines? For your next vid? I SUBBED❤❤❤

You should do the worlds worst train and americas worst train. I love ur videos

I live down in Mississippi and, although I have never ridden this rail line, Amtrak apparently has the best service in the US. I love trains and the most common locomotive in their fleet is the P42 Genesis. There is also the Acela in New Jersey I think. *Don’t quote me on that.* You should go on it and try the Jackson to New Orleans train before you could go further with the longest train ride, that being the NYC to Miami route. It is a transfer ride.

Here is a fact about VIA 6459. It is a F40PH locomotive originally built in the 1970s. By the way, awesome video I subscribed.

today I've used again the public transport here in Europe. but after watching the video I started to hate the day and the country where I live in (Switzerland) because we can only dream of this kind of service and prices which you have here in Canada and envy you. THX man for the video and keep up!

Try reviewing a TLK class train in Poland before they are all gone, or an old MAV train in Hungary, preferably on a 35°C summer day...

this youtuber makes my day :)

6:19 the train attendant right now is the same one I had when I went to Ottawa

Remember your fare comparison was business on a train vs economy on a plane. Business on a plane would be 3x what you paid for a larger seat, drinks and a light appetizer plate. Yes, flying from YTZ would get you the drink in the all-economy cabin of Porter or AC. I tend to fly to Montreal or Ottawa so I have at least a half day in those cities vs pretty much losing the day (I hate any flights or trains before noon!) but almost always take VIA business back in the evening, enjoying drinks and a dinner while relaxing for a few hours. I’m a 20-minute walk from Union, so getting to VIA, the UPX or YTZ shuttle is the same.

Could you do more with travelling on trains in Canada USA and Mexico?

Love the content

2:15 don't forget streetcar terminal as well!

Nice video love your contents

I will also say I have been on Amtrak. I enjoyed both because I did not have to drive where I was going and just got to relax and feel rested when I got to where I was going. For VIA it was Toronto. For Amtrak it was Chicago.

I'm from sweden and I love ur videos can you try sweden best air line and worst air line

What's the name of that dramatic background music you were using it sounds so good

Via rail mainly operates the F40-PH on trains like the Canadian. The F40-PH is a cowl body locomotive built in 1975-1992 by EMD. Your train was also pulled by an F40-PH.

You should fly porter! It’s base is in Toronto, would be easy to go on.

Definitely do more train videos

Merci pour le revue. Je me suis abonné

You should try the new VIA Siemens charger train

Where did you get your shirt? That shirt looks so cozy

You should make a vid about flying the best airline in the world, it would be really entertaining and I would love to watch it 😃

You must do the Canadian from Toronto to Vancouver!

Have you tried the Transillien suburb train?(Paris St Lazare towards Mantes-La-Jolie)

Try Amtrak great video 📸❣️

This isn’t a big snow storm compared to Quebec lol in 2017 we got 80cm off snow and that’s what I call a big snow storm

Amazing vid

Cool and unique video

Since you flew to Vatican City can you fly to the second smallest country which is Monaco. It’s in Europe

Great vid

Can you test something in finland? I am from finland so it would be fun to see.

You should try Amtrak

Please try Czech trains, its easy to buy ticket on train station and they are luxury and cheap

come over to the uk and do a long haul train over here - you might enjoy the experience

1:30 My anxiety always skyrockets when that happens.

You are my favorite KZfaqr

I think others are just picky about how their experience is and they always look on the bad side of things and want an experience that they expect and want but don’t compare to other places experiences and how this one is better and that’s why it got such low ratings but you actually look on the bright side and see how your experience this time is better than another experience and you actually are grateful for the things you get more than most people which I really like about you and appreciate that you think like that!

The stainless steel equipment was built by Budd who built a lot of passenger rail equipment across the US and Canada. Some of that equipment was from Canadian Pacific and some of it is ex Amtrak equipment that Via bought when Amtrak started retiring it’s Heritage Fleet in the 1990s. Via calls what we called the Heritage Fleet HEP 1 and 2. Which stands for Head End Power. Prior to HEP, trains were steam heated and ran off a generator connected to an axel. The first train in North America to get head end power was the North Coast Limited (Chicago to Seattle/Portland). No offense, but Via has a messy variety of equipment that we don’t really have in the US anymore and Amtrak is more or less replacing all of its equipment. Which is sad for me as a train fan and someone who grew up riding Amtrak on trip with my grandparents.

Go on the Ghan train in Australia it is REALLY GOOOOOOOOOOD🎉❤❤❤😊😊😊

1:38 Yeah! I sure do have that.

I rode VIA rail 4 times to and from Toronto (departing from Ottawa), and once I flew business and I thought it was a scam. The portions of food were TINY.

Just wondering if you would ever do a video going to a Toronto Blue Jays game.

Please do more flight reviews

I love your videos their so just cool

4:22 the engines that you'll have pulling your train will be the p42 or f40, the f40 are a little older but still good, the cars on the corridor are the Budd cars and the lrc cars, you were in the lrc but the Budd cars are extremely old since they were built in the 40s, they are shaky but they were refurbished

This video is so cool

You should try Metra and Amtrak

You should try maybe economic seats because you were on business so it must be better

Try Toronto to Vancouver Via Rail Experience and let us know

I would expect it to be faster than a car though, I was laughing my head off when I found out it took almost 10 hours to get from Vancouver to Kamloops

Do more train videos please 🙏🏻

Yeah Via has been experiencing lots of train delays due to freight traffic. It’s a major problem. They need to do upgrades at stations and add extra tracks dedicated to passenger trains only and leave shared tracks to freights only. A lot of people don’t wanna use a train system when it’s almost always late. If this keeps up, everyone could then find alternative ways to travel

as a railfanner, i approve of your video!

Just wondering is the train REALLY slower than flying? Downtown to Downtown... Plane: Drive to airport. Check in. Security. Boarding. Travel time. Drive back to downtown. Total time needed for all that? Train: Check in. Boarding. Travel time. Total time for all that?

definitely do more train videos. Come to Indian Railways

You should do travel bus reviews in Ontario

i like via rail i don't really care about the delays because you get to spend more time on the train. the first time i went one via it took me around 12 hours to go to The Pas MB from Thompson MB there was lots of leg room i could buy some food and snacks and i even got a tour of the sleeper car witch was cool

And it's gonna be even better, VIA are getting brand new trains to replace the dated LRC cars and F40PH locomotives.

Pls do a 24 hour via rail explore

You should do more plane reviewess

Lucky you last week a train of VIA rail Went on explosion

Try to go on a UK train in rush hour when it has only 2 coaches when the train before has been cancelled

In America we have a passenger train service and it’s called Amtrak

you should come to europe and check out the airlines/trains and compare them to the ones in america

1:44 Exactly

Also on via rail only 4 million passengers travel yearly, but on indian railways around 45 killion do

The major problem with rail in Canada is that the rails are owned by private companies which via operates on. These private companies don't maintain the tracks to a standard to allow for via's maxiumum speed, let alone high speed, especially outside of the Toronto-Montréal corridor. Another thing is that the canadian government doesn't mandate the freight companies to give passenger trains priority so they often get stuck waiting on siding for a massive freight train to go by. Also years of disinvestment means that it is difficult for via to invest in improving service.

I’m not a Via Rail railfan. But here’s what I know of. GE P42DC locomotives are to perform a complete and overall equipment upgrade since the canadian passenger company, much like Amtrak themselves, were using outdated and somewhat unproven, unreliable, or just aging equipment such as their own F40PH's. F40PHs are really old units built in the 80s. But most of the American F40s were retired, scrapped, or displayed them. And Via Rail rebuilt them from F40PHs -> F40PH-2s. And the switcher, those are the longest. Even though some of them are around. It’s still gonna stay as a switcher. Via Rail recently bought charger units like what brightline did in Florida. But I doubt those chargers won’t last forever because it contains batteries.

I oh wow, this is super good.

Pls do more Train videos try Amarcas best

Can You please fly to London gatwick and then fly Norwegian airlines to Oslo and then back to gatwick pls🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
