Today I'm taking The Canadian sleeper train for 97 hours across the North American continent from Toronto all the way to Vancouver on the Pacific coastline. I'll be travelling in Prestige class which is the most luxurious First Class sleeper cabin offered by Via rail but the excitement only starts with my ensuite bedroom. Join me as we explore the Park Car with it's private lounge, elegant dining carriage serving up hearty meals and of course the dome cars! We'll go from forests, to great plains to the Rocky Mountains all over the next 5 days and I'll be taking you along for the ride.
Thank you to my friend / trav4oilers for the awesome drone footage, go check out Trav's channel to see his recent experience on the Canadian.

Oh, this brings back so many memories. I've travelled back and forth across Canada by this train several times and the trip is glorious. But I do remember how for several days after I'd suddenly find myself moving as though I was still on the train even while I was lying in bed, or sitting in a chair, at home, and was actually quite sedentary.

Remember that the Lord Jesus Christ died on a cross for you because He loves you so much. He then rose up from the dead three days later The Ten Commandments are called the moral law, (most of us are lying thieving blasphemous adulterer at heart and deserve hell) you and I broke the law, Jesus paid the fine. That’s what happened on that cross. By believing that Jesus died on the cross and rose up from the dead 3 days later and not just confessing your sin, but also repenting of all sin you have done and putting all your trust in Him in prayer, He will grant you everlasting life as a free Gift

BTW back in the 1950-70s the trip only took 67 hrs from Toronto-Vancouver as it had priority over freight trains.

The Canadian actually arranged for a 3 hour bus tour of Winnipeg. Too bad they changed their arrival time in Winnipeg. The tour was wonderful and quite unique. The entire 4 day was unforgettable.

The old schedule was fantastic for my area and I used the train lots during univeristy days. The newer schedule was setup to better serve tourists travelling on the train for its departure and arrival times into Toronto and Vancouver. The reasoning is that the train has become a major tourist attraction so they did the schedule to better align with internation flights.

We were supposed to have gotten 2 staterooms on the train but, due to some mix-up, we only got one. So, there 4 of us in a tiny room with 2 beds for almost 4 days. Those 4 days took an eternity in my young mind.

I’ve done this quite a few times. I loved going through the eerie Northern Manitoba swamp in the dark, early dawn, replete with steam raising from the land and one train personnel told me we went through a certain part of the Rockies at night because it was so terrifying to the passengers during the day. And it was! We were literally snaking the edge of the mountain, the train light casting shadows on the mountain. When I used to go it was Via. First class was a full ‘sleeper’, and it took three nights and four days. Nothing better than being in bed as the scenery goes by. Very cozy.

The only thing top end I saw was the bed, that leather couch looked really uncomfortable and the sky dome looked very outdated and uncomfortable. Those seats looked like they were from the 60s. I expected more plush seating. The food looked good but the portions looked really small, not much to choose from. I was shocked at the lack of snow and ice removal, apparently people don't sue in Canada for trips and falls because the area isn't cleared properly. There is no excuse for not sweeping the snow off the steps and all that ice at the stop, what's going on? Is that normal? That's crazy they should salt that, it's not even safe to walk on.

I took the Canadian from Vancouver to Toronto in 2012 and at the conclusion of the trip I told people the best part was a three-way tie between the views, the food, and the incredible staff. Before I left so many people said the prairies would be boring but I thought they were stunningly beautiful. Always love a dirt road that goes straight all the way to the horizon, and how big the sky is.

It's bitter sweet watching your vid. Growing up in the 80s, travelling by train(VIA Rail) was a common and affordable way to travel. One of my fondest childhood memories was taking the trip from Thunder Bay(bypassed now) to Winnipeg to visit my grandparents. Unfortunately, many of the regular routes/stations have been phased out. Glad to see it still has a presence to this day.

I have lived in Australia since 1979 (After 9 years US Army), and worked here as a teacher and artist, but grew up in Michigan. On one trip with a big group of Australian Vietnam Veterans in the 80's to attend the Chicago Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Parade... From there I took them in three rental cars to my Dad's home (164 Acres of woods and a great cabin). Hearing those Australians trying pronounce French spelling of Indian names so funny... then we wen't through the Detroit tunnel to Canada as i promised i'd take them to see Niagara Falls ... I used to travel back and forth in the 60's and 70's with no issues... but 7 Australians created such crap problems with customs??? We graved the "Queens Way" to the falls ... then had to drive back to Michigan to drop off the rentals. Then flew back to Australia... I found it funny as Canadians would constantly ask the Aussies; "What did you say" ... I guess as a teacher I'm used to the different accents... I'm guessing both sides were just messing with each other... Love this trip. I'm thinking my Australian wife and I would like to try it going back east??? It looked great... Nice post mate.

Thank you so much for making and posting this video! I was fortunate enough to travel in the Prestige class in 2017 as part of my honeymoon with my ex-wife. We ended up flying to Yellowknife, then to Whitehorse, then to Vancouver and we boarded the Canadian in Vancouver to return to Toronto. At the time, we were traveling off-season (March) so we paid $3850/person ($7700 total). We also planned it to depart from Vancouver since we paid 12% sales tax instead of 13% that we would have paid if we departed from Ontario. The service, food, amenities, private shower, queen bed and views all made the trip entirely worth it. Shortly after, my ex ended up getting a job working for VIA Rail where she still works to this day. Fun fact that our concierge told us; the Prestige class was the result of a class-action lawsuit against VIA Rail due to accessibility. Their train cars were not to the accessibility standards set out by the federal government and they lost a court case. Making the large-sized Prestige rooms was part of the resulting settlement and one of the rooms is designated as fully wheelchair accessible. VIA Rail (at the time) didn't expect the Prestige class to be as much of a success as it ended up being. This was by far the best time and experience of my life so I'm so happy you two got to experience it. Hopefully more people get the opportunity to experience it too!

Tip to everyone travelling to Canada in winter: Bring layered clothing and proper boots that will prevent slipping on ice, a tuque (knitted hat) and gloves: -25C is very normal in most parts of Canada in winter, but if you are properly-dressed, it is a glorious experience of crisp air, dazzling snow and azure skies. Note that temperatures climb to 33 C or higher in the summer.

When I read your comment about dreaming of seeing the northern lights I just want to say: Come visit us in Jokkmokk, Sweden, north of the arctic circle. We have northern light all through out the fall and winter period. This year the first one actually appeared already around Sept 25. It goes on all the way into March. I often see it when I take a walk in the evening by our little lake. The best chance of northern light is at Abisko, 4 hours north of us. They even have the Aurora Sky Station on top of the mountain Nuolja / Njullá. They offer evening-night excursions when you take the chair lift to the top, dressed in warm winter gear, and spend a couple hours at the top, hoping to see aurora borealis (northern light) and you eat dinner before taking the lift back down again, some time around midnight. I have worked as a mountain guide in the mountains west of Jokkmokk and have seen some great northern lights there as well as in Abisko whenever I go. But I also often see it just outside of my home in Jokkmokk, where I moved some 14 years ago from Stockholm. So @jackrey2652 I hope you come visit us in Swedish Lapland and enjoy norhtern lights (or midnight sun) in the future. I would love to welcome you in our neck of the woods! And by the way - you can travel by night train, just like Will does. There is a nice, comfortable (however not luxurious) first class car as well as second class, economy and coach, from Stockholm all the way north. If you want to hear about how the northern lights can change lives, here is a video about Chad from New Orleans and how he ended up living in Abisko because of the northern lights (and perhaps also due to the love of his life being Swedish...?!) And if you do come, stop by and have a cup of tea or coffe in my kitchen! I would love that... www.swedishlapland.com/stories/abisko-worlds-best-place-for-northern-lights/ Thanks Will, for letting me go on all these amazing train trips, many of who I dream of catching myself. It is a pleasure to come along for the ride! Since I broke my neck and injured my lower back in a tornado in the mountains many years ago, I can't hike or ski as before and also not travel as extensively. Therefore I truly enjoy coming along on your trips. I am sure I am not the only one in this siutation, who enjoy something we can't really do or at least not as easily any longer, but now you give us a way of enjoying these trips from our living room. Thanks to technology.... Rather amazing!

The entire train was that way and when it was night, I was laying in a large bed staring up at the stars. The train had so many different themes throughout the train, so you never got bored with one specific style. That was actually one of my favorite dreams this year!.... ❤❤❤
