I have to tell you…. Covid nurse here. Your videos popped up on my feed a few years ago. Your peaceful music and gentle voices actually have helped this PTSD affected nurse recover. Someday we’ll train across our country or Canada. Thanks for the healing moments.

I still have my Rubik's that I received on my 14th birthday. I'll be 54 next year and still haven't solved it. True story.

Thanks for taking us along on your trip. Canada is truly beautiful....and clean. The food looked good too.

I love these longer trip videos. I put them on when I'm scrapbooking and just need some rest time after a busy day. I find them so incredibly soothing.

I took almost this exact same trip with my family 60 years ago when I was 12 .Long before antrak. White tablecloths real silverware. Our family of 5 went coach on the entire trip but we still ate in the dining cars. No microwave food. It is one of my favorite memories from when I was young. How much was the trip on the Canadien? I'm thinking of a bucket list trip to retrace that trip in 1964. I really enjoy your videos. Keep them coming please.

Can you do a video about how you deal with life essentials like laundry, shopping for essentials, what you do between trips (train to cruise, etc).

As a Canadian, I'm smiling ear to ear with this. You get to experience our beautiful country !🤗

Good morning Allie and Rob. My husband and I took the Empire Builder #27 from Havre to Seattle via Portland. We were lucky enough to be assigned an accessible room going to Portland. Returning to Havre from Seattle we took the #8 train. We were in a roomette for this leg of our journey. Our choice of rooms is the bedroom for more room. When we arrived back in Havre, we had a dead battery and we were locked out of the car as it is an electrical access. The Amtrak agent was quite helpful and her boyfriend was able to assist us with entry at $0.00. Now that is service. Awesome Amtrak!

so nice! this has made me reconsider to travel by train and not airplane. I definitely would travel first class. It has been some years since I last traveled by t rain. Your music added to your video has a calm a relaxing vibe. Thanks for sharing your video🚅🚆❤♌🐆

I've wanted to go to Canada but thanks to your video, I feel like I've been there. I just found your site yesterday while trying to gather information about Amtrak and was so impressed. You two are such a lovely couple, so informative and always polite. Thanks so much for the great tour. Hope your cruise was wonderful.

As a Canadian I would like to impress upon you just how lucky you are to have seen the peak of Mount Robson. It is on average visible only 12 days per year. I have been thru Mount Robson park a handful of times and still have not seen the summit. Cheers.

Your train trip in the winter looks a whole lot different than it does in the summer. That is a beautiful trip to take across Canada. I watched the Jeb Brooks Channel as they went across Canada on rail. They were in first class it's nice to see the difference between business class and first class. But in the summer it was beautiful green and of course the days.

I don’t know how YT algorithms put you onto my feed but I’m so glad it did and I subscribed. Might be me following Orlando’s new high speed rail to Miami. Anyway, you guys are such a breath of fresh air. I can feel my stress melting away watching your travels. Thank you so much.

I love traveling like this with you guys! You explain everything, and show evrything...it's just so much fun! And great traveling music, too! Hope you had awesome holidays!

My sister and I took our 88 year old dad on the Toronto Vancouver route twice in a few years. I wish I could do it again. It is a much more elegant experience than Amtrak sleepers. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. So now I can only afford Amtrak because of my points. But I do enjoy train travel and there are some very wonderful staff members on Amtrak. I will continue to explore USA via train as long as I can. I enjoy your videos.

The attendant who turned the seats around went out of his way to make your trip better. He deserves a good tip at the end of the ride. I don't usually tip Business class attendants, but this attendant made your trip a lot better. The vast majority of Amtrak attendants put a lot of effort into great service.

I remember starting my railroad career working in Sleeping cars like that on Amtrak back in the 80's. You two are doing one of my bucket list trips. Have funn and be safe!

Thank you both for this lovely video. Always was curious of the trip from NYC to LA. Thank you for this viral journey.

Hope one day I'll be able to do this train ride when I visit the u.s with my friends. Keep up the good work with the videos. Love from Trinidad 🇹🇹 blessings 👍🏾👍🏾💯

I love ❤ this program. Allie, The way you present this program is wonderful 👊

I love love love your content. How long did this entire trip take on the train minus the drive to LA. I want to do this!!!🥰❤

dam was just going to go to bed.....lol Happy New Year from Townsville Australia...

So sorry you missed the great views of the Hudson River on the NYC to Albany stretch. One year we were traveling on the 4th and saw families having picnics all along the way in the many parks.

In 1992 I did the opposite. I went from Vancouver-Toronto via Amtrak. Down to Seattle, Empire Builder,Lakeshore LTD to Albany, Maple Leaf to Toronto. I also did the reverse but via Denver (they had the "Pioneer" back then that went to Portland & Seattle). In fact in Portland there was also tha Coast Starlight northbound which we followed & the Portland branch of Empire Builder ready to leave. I have been on "The Canadian" 51x since 1964. Yes I'm a "train-a-holic".

This kind of trip is on the big travel list I've been making. Next year, I'm headed back down to San Antonio by Amtrak for the second time. I'm super excited to do this again as I really enjoyed the first trip

You two are lovely. Enjoyed your commentary, tour of the train, and excellent views from the train! Enjoyed you showing the menus and selected dishes. A trip I have always wanted to take, so thank you. Some day😊.

We took the train from Seattle to Portand around 2010 and it had a car that they turned into a movie theater. They played a kids' movie, and since my family were the only ones in there, they got to run around a bit, talk, and get their wiggles out while watching the movie. Our car attendant also came to our room and played games with, and did magic tricks for my kids. The scheduling of the train was a nightmare (cancellations for us too), but the service was excellent. Nice people working for them.

I love listening to you both. You showcase train trips, scenery and amenities amazingly. Keep travelling. Thankyou from Australia

My cousin and I plan to do a Canada rail trip when I retire in 2025. This is giving me all sorts of ideas since she's on the east coast and I'm on the west. Our family came from Canada. Such possibilities ❤

Way better quality video than the last Via Rail trip to Van you guys did. Thank you.

I’ve never commented on your videos although I’ve watched quite a few. Just wanted to tell you they are well edited and I have enjoyed them. I also want to say how wonderful you two are paired together… they is love there. 😊

Your documenting was awesome! I really was impressed by the train stations across Canada! They don't build things like that with such pride these days!

What a fantastic video. You got me excited for a Canadian trip. It looks absolutely gorgeous to travel through Canada. I bet it would look pretty in the fall, too. Nice job!

How funny is it that the day has come when we watch other people take their holidays.. and they get paid for our watching them! How the world turns!

Love this channel, I felt as if I were right there on this trip, glad you guys made it to the cruise. The view thru the CANADIAN Rockies were just INCREDIBLE, Thank You.

Hi, I am in luv with your channel!! I’ve always luved riding on trains. This video was AWESOME!!😍🙏🏾🐾 🚆

Nice music added to your tour, Great video 🌴🌺

This amtrak looks really nice on the inside.. i took this trip years ago. God Bless you all

Great video - thanks for taking us with you every step of the way!

I enjoy videos like this me as a resident of NY will never take that type of a trip so got my chips ready and leeets gooooooooooooooo

😂 Nice VIDEO, 😮 As a young man I flew to Toronto from England , I caught the shuttle bus to Toronto bus station then I planned to catch the train to Montreal, so I exited the bus station and asked a waiting taxi to take me to the train station ( I asked him what the fare would be, I'm not stupid 😂 he said $ 5 which seemed reasonable ) so he drove round to the other side of the bus station building which was the train station!!! Welcome to Canada!!!❤😂🍁🐸😃 I could have walked through the bus station to the train station!!!!!******,

First time watching your video come across it was excellent great experience enjoy watching it my whole family live in Canada I live in the states. Look forward to watch more of your videos. Great work.

You were very lucky to travel this winter because last year at the same time the temperature was -40

Wow! Incredible

So cool 💛

I saw your video for the first time today and it was very good . And the way you speak touched my heart .

Cracking video, Allie and Rob. Too bad Amtrak could not take some lessons from the Canadians and have their trains this nice. From what I remember of my parents+ telling me of their travelling by rail, this is what I envisioned rail travel being in the 1940s and 50s.

You guys did a really nice job with this!!!!! The Music was very healing for this Ex-Marine!!!!!

I loved this vlog. Sat and watched the whole thing

I had lower berth last time I was on The Canadian, great space for putting your stuff when the beds are made up on the lower part, not much space left on side when it is made up and the privacy curtain does wonders for keeping out the light, once asleep you don't really hear anyone walking past.

Wow! This is almost the exact same itinerary that my wife and I will be doing this coming June. We are taking business class on the Maple Leaf and then spend a day in Toronto. One difference is that we will be in a Prestige Room on the Canadian all the way to Vancouver. But when we get to Vancouver, we take a seven night cruise to Alaska (round trip). We are then taking the Amtrak throughway bus down to Seattle and jumping on the Coast Starlight in a bedroom down to Southern California. Hope our Coast Starlight won't have any issues like yours did. After seeing your video, it's just making us look forward to it even more, thanks!

I am so glad you are back. I love the trains

What a fun trip. Really enjoyed the video.

This is a bucket list trip. Thanks for sharing!

Happy New Year to everyone. I hate to admit this, but I love traveling on Amtrak so much, I wish they had a family room large enough to be an actual apartment I could travel on for 15 days.

Thank you! Very clear views. I often find the Amtrak windows are pretty filthy. How do you manage to get the clarity you always have. Is it your camera, business class or luck?

Thank you for sharing your video Journey I'm enjoying it. I hope someday I get to experience a train ride across Canada and United States.

I love your videos. They are of the highest quality and incredibly relaxing.

As a Proud Canadian, this video gets my stamp of approval.....

Loved every minute of this, thanks for sharing 😊

Wow, that certainly is the long way!

Beautiful train travels l remember canadian railways when l took it Edmonton and l took amtrak to Canada to transfer.the food on amtrak is delicious. Beautiful views of canadian rockies and scenery on usa side too.😊happy travels

Back in the 60s and 70s I did a number of CP and maybe CN trips before VIA. The berths, roomettes and bedrooms make me suspect the cars are the same.

I love when yall do these vlog style videos! Makes me feel like I took the trip with you! Looked like an amazing trip with amazing views!

Planning Amtrak trip soon. Your videos are just right succinct, to the point not a lot of talking, information is helpful

We explored some of Toronto back in the early 2000’s. CN tower was so scary to me. But we enjoyed some drinks and snacks in the rotating restaurant at the top! Hubby is from Hamilton, Ont.

Thank you guys for posting this video as it reminded me of my trip in Canada back in Winter 2018/2019. I took the Amtrak from Penn station NYC to Montreal, travelled to a few cities of eastern Canada via rail before hopping on the VIA from Toronto to Vancouver. I stayed in a sleeper cabin for 1, and I found it very comfortable. At Winnipeg station, we were notified that a freight train has derailed, so we had to pack up, travelled 5 hours to Melville station to swap over with the passengers on the eastbound train which would turn back to Vancouver. We were delayed for a few hours but the crew was very professional and reassured us all the way. It was an amazing experience overall and I highly recommend it. The service and food were excellent and the staff were very friendly! The only thing I didn't realise was the VIA Canadian, being built over 50 years ago, didn't have WiFi, and I had no roaming as well. Nonetheless, it was a great way to detox from mobile phones and social media! The Amtrak from NYC to Montreal I took also surprised me as to how spacious the seats were. I didn't have to get off for border checks, the officers came onto the train to check us off. It was an 11 hour ride but was very scenic! Being from Australia, I was fascinated with the snow!

Looks like you were almost the only ones on the train!!

Happy New Year to you all. Keep traveling.

great vid. the food looks great and very plentiful😋

Business class is very wise.💯

That was so much fun!! I actually got cold watching this! LOL.

articulate and organized. well done.

Great video! Thank you for sharing it!

What a great trip! Thank you for that.

Thank you for filming this beautiful sceneries. I enjoyed it and how it is traveling in the business class section. I'm glad made it safely to LA. Good video 👍

Great video. Feel as though I have been on vacation. See you in LA.

Can't solve a Rubik's cube. Go Red Wings!!! That is so true!! Food onboard Via Rail looked really good!! Stinks about flooding but you made it work

I took daughter and grandson to Disneyland this year; we rode from Seattle tree to LA. I realized I don’t want to do coach overnight ever again. I want to do a trans Canada trip so badly.

Very well made, captivating watch. 😊

Hello both. Great trip. A few years ago, I went from Toronto to Jasper. Really enjoyed it. Remember Sioux Lookout and the long stop there while the locomotive got re-fuelled, never seen that before, gret experience.

❤good trip 🎉. thank you very much

Wonderful video. The miles/kilometers surely added up but the breaks for commentary and 'feeling' for the personal experiences shined through. 1st time watching one of your travel adventures. Great job.

Fantastic video. Also, I’ve got to say I love the music that you added to this…particularly around the 26:45 mark. I’m on a 4hr train ride back to Prague as I’m watching this.

Simply amazing scenery. Well done guys!

Knew you were a hockey fan sir! Well done definitely, one day i wanna do the Canadian train trip! Glad y'all had fun & safely got our journey without much issue!

Love these Canadian Trains Interior. they look to me has a slight Art Deco Decor & the interior ceiling edge lighting looks marvelous.

First time viewing your content. It's very nice to see a cute couple taking time to see the beauty of USA and Canada. I have just subscribed and liked and will be watching for more. The cross country trip was especially exciting.

So you're in a Bedroom. Budd Company cars manufactured in Philadelphia in the 1950s. Rob likes these more than what Amtrak has to offer. Seventy years later and Amtrak can't match the technology!

Very ASMR! I love train travel, so relaxing and I enjoy scenic routes. Happy New Year!

Thank you, what a great video. I really enjoyed watching your journey from New York City to LA through Canada!

I am presently on my 1st cross country trip leaving WAS to CHI to LAngeles. I have watched quite a few of your videos in preparation for this trip and would like to thank you so much for your instructions and advice. I am an airline employee who will retire in a few months and will be frequently making these trips in conjunction with airline flights so your info is so helpful. Thank you and I hope to cross paths with you guys.

People don't realize that Canada in the winter is really beautiful. There aren't a lot of people on the train so it is even nicer. I got the impression that the cars you were on in Canada are heading for replacement. They've done a great job of upkeep on them but they are like 70 years old. The replacement ones look sleeker but probably not as nice. The new ones the wheel sets will take the bumps and clunks better on the non-wielded rail of Canada. They should be quieter, too. I don't think they will have the VISTA Domes in the future. When you were on the VIA they were especially clean. The dining cars were like how Amtrak's were in the 1970s and 1980s. Good trip and a good video. Happy New Year.

I’m a nurse and it’s interesting to see the views of NYC and upstate New York. East coast to Seattle and LA on the west coast. This is definitely a interesting trip for me to try while listening to your peaceful music. I’m looking forward to travel on the Amtrak on my first vacations the year 2024 I haven’t had a vacation since Covid. I’ve been working through Covid now I need to start traveling, and Canada is definitely one of my destinations that I want to go to relax. you are inspiring me to travel more on my days off and to take the Amtrak more. Thank you for this video is very interesting and informative.

what a lovely couple you 2 are James

Too bad about the buffer car at the end of the train , it really ruins the view . You got extremely lucky to see Mt . Robson unobstructed by clouds , that is very rare indeed .

To solve the cube you have to know moves that will move a particular square to a particular location. Years ago someone taught me a few of those moves and I made significant progress. I however did not have enough info to solve it completely.

Loved the video, the end was kind of an anti climax, I so hoped to see your trainride through northern California, where I have been. It's such beautiful nature there, and the coastline south Oregon and northern California is breathtaking. Too bad that wasn't in it. But loved the rest. I know I am looking into a traintrip through Canada around the same time. I loooooove snow

lol 😂 and I’m near the end and I haven’t had enough. Nice presentation 👍

i am so jealous...great video...thank you for sharing
