I can't wait to re-live our trip - so stoked that we got to do this entire journey together. LET'S GO!!! 🙌🏻

I am so happy that we non-Canadians finally get to see this epic adventure Michael. Your first episode was great! I am looking forward to the rest of the series.

Newfoundland is hands down one of the best provinces in Canada, The people, the places, everything about it is awesome.

This was great Michael (and Sprouht). I had a summer job a few years ago that allowed me to visit virtually every convenience store on the island, and I remember on my first trip to Robinsons I got out of the car to pet a goat on the side of the road and then followed it for 20 minutes in suit and tie to one of those coastal meadows, gave him a few of my baby carrots, what a spot. Looking forward to the rest of the series fellas!

I can't believe you don't have millions of subscribers. This is awesome content. Just amazing stuff. The people you meet and learning what they do its incredible. You are doing great things. Thank you so much for sharing all this and doing it so we can all learn and see places we will never go to or ever see.

so stoked for the series to finall be on youtube! let's goooo ✌🏼

Cool! I was born in Newfoundland and saw the trains running there as a kid before they removed all the tracks. This should be fun to watch.

Thank you, Mike! It feels like we, the international viewers, will get completely enamoured with Canada, seen through your eyes! The content is superb, and the tempo is perfect - it just sucks the viewers straight into the action. Thanks! Warmest greetings from St. Petersburg, Russia where the nature is very similar to Canada. Believe me or believe me not, but I once saw Newfoundland! I had a brief stopover at Gander airport in August 1990, when flying across the Atlantic.

My grandfather was the head dispatcher for the NL Railway. I grew up in his house and he had pictures of all the engine trains on his walls. Because of the CNR he met my Nan and thus I am here. He was forced to retire when the CNR was shut down and it ruined him. All he wanted to do was work. Love to Pop and Nanny Taylor up above us. You were my surrogate parents miss you every day.(Edit:You can still walk the entire train Ed except for the bridges. The trans Canada trail in Newfoundland is basically just the old train bed)

I was grinning the entire video. Your happiness is infectious! I’m looking forward to the whole season. The postcard reveal was priceless!

This was fantastic!! Can’t wait for the rest of the series!

Where do I even begin?!? Mike!!! This is so next level. The tone, the views, the happy feeling…this episode one is exceptional. You are setting a new standard and I am all about it! You’ve balanced fun and informative, authentic experience with tactful and relevant partnership endorsements. I am looking forward to the rest of this series.

The wait was worth it, welcome back from your US viewers! I made my coffee sat down and enjoyed. Mike said here's a peek for next week and I said surely it has not been 24 minutes and it was! Fastest 24 minutes ever. Love ya Mike!

I am a resident of Quebec and it is an excellent idea to show us around Canada by train. The shots are magnificent as well as the subjects. Congratulations to you and your road partner for a great job. Already looking forward to continuing the other stages of our beautiful country. Places that I did not know and which are as wonderful as other countries. As I say, each country has its beauty. Thank you for these beautiful shares.🤗🥰

So happy for you, Mike. You’re the best tour guide. Your enthusiasm precedes you. Cool! This is going to be a great series, no question.

I visited Newfoundland several years ago and fell in love with the area and people. So this brought me back. Thanks! Look forward to the rest of the series

Im so happy that people are recognizing our province

This video was absolutely a blast to watch and I can't believe that there will be 9 whooping more episodes of these to come!!! Thank you!

Such a great video. Looking forward to the rest of the series. I love seeing you off the train and enjoying what the local areas have to offer.

This looked like so much fun! Definitely adding Newfoundland to my bucket list. Can't wait to see the rest of the series. Great job, Michael!

Here we go! I'm so happy for you friend. My brother for ever. Let's hear these TRAIN HORNS!

This is going to be an incredible series. I can’t wait to see the rest of it.

I loved this! Newfoundland looks like an amazing place 💜 Looking forward to the rest of the episodes. Thank you from Northern California 😊

I've been waiting a long time for this and it was no disappointment. You have a real knack for this sort of thing and the result is absolutely professional in all ways. Captain Dave was especially interesting. This was so good tand so full of people and places that I'll probably watch it again. Looking forward to the next chapter.

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am a Canadian who hasn't lived there for over 50 years and since I am just a little older than your father and disabled I can't travel back to see my beloved Canada so I am very happy that you are sharing her with me. Thanks. Judi McRae Lakewood WA formerly from Edmonton and Vancouver..

Man, you’re so entertaining to watch. Can’t wait for the rest of the series.

What a fun start to your adventures! I can't wait to see the rest. And I love, love, LOVE my Tru Earth!

So glad to finally get to see this and it was even better than expected. Such great work Mike, and so well shot and presented. I can’t wait for next week.

Great video Mike! I've been coming along since watching your Trans-Canada Highway moto-vlogs, so to see the evolution of that as a Trans-Canada Train-Vlog, I feel so proud of you and proud to see you show off Canada in the way that you are! Stoked for what is to come over the next 10 weeks!

Congrats Mike on the series. I had been waiting for it to be posted on KZfaq and the wait was worth it. Keep up the good work.

Stoked for it man! What a project!

YES! So glad to finally see the great adventure - this was great, and I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of Canada's provinces through your eyes as well!

This is where I’m from and i cant express how much you actually nailed the experience of coming to Newfoundland. I’m extremely proud to have roots here and I’m glad you had a good time my friend!

So thankful you're bringing us along...absolutely enjoy everything you're posting. Thanks!!!

Let the journeys begin. Yessss! I love my Saturday once again.

Thanks for showing a little bit of our great province, Newfoundland. Glad you enjoyed your time here.

BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO!!! An excellent start to what I'm sure will be a great series. So happy for you and looking forward to following along.

Visited St Johns twice in 1969 on USCGC Sebago going to and from Ocean Station Bravo (located between Labrador and the southern tip of Greenland). Visited twice more in 1973 on USCGC Vigorous going to and from International Ice Patrol. Always wanted to go back, especially after watching this video. Looking forward to your upcoming series.

I miss Newfoundland sooooo much.... brings tears to my eyes seeing this. Thankyou for bringing back some of my best memories. And I hope whoever gets to go to Newfoundland gets to see the puffins! They are my favourite animals on earth

Can’t wait to see the rest of the series! Would so love to visit Canada one day!

I've been coast to coast in this great land and can tell you that Newfoundland and Labrador are my favorite places. The people are second to none on the Rock. Labrador however has the best scenery in my opinion. I really enjoy being in places where i can not see anything man made, just rugged natural beauty.

15:07 WHOA.... I thought i had done a pretty crazy job restoring the original wooden LÉVIS train station sign, white paint with the beveled corners painted black and the original black paint lettering (took me 2 months, with a teeny tiny paintbrush so as not to alter the original hand-painted shape of the letters) - you can see a similar sign on Jasper's station still, and they used to be all over Canada... The Lévis one i recuperated when the station closed in 1998, and after restoring it, i screwed it on top of the wall in my studio in Lévis. But the whale skeleton??? That another level. Captain Dave is really a badass!!! 👍

I was so freaking busy with my life, health and work within last three months, and now can focus back on Mike's awesomely awesome videos! Just finished first episode; The Shipping News is one of my favorite books and seeing Newfoundland in your video makes me want to re-read that Masterpiece. Can't wait to binge more episodes, dear Mike. Cheers!

Thank you, as a Canadian who has grown up coast, to coast, I am estatic to see someone explore and appreciate the beauty of our country for what it is. So many unique people, opinions, traditions, and experiences to see and witness

Absolutely amazing! Can't wait for next week!

This was soooo much fun to watch! I love your series!

This series is one of the most enjoyable experiences I've had watching KZfaq travels. REALLY GREAT JOB, Mike and Will! I now have a HUGE list of things I want to do in our neighboring land to the north. LOVE THIS.

Mike...your poor mother...LOL. Great ending to an awesome EP 1. Love the production values, and you just are so at ease in front of the camera. It's like traveling with your best friend. These storylines are crazy good too.

this absolutely amazing. can't wait for the next episodes !!!!

That's awesome, exploring your own vast and beautiful country off the beaten track. It's fun to see local life and beautiful nature!

Congratulations Mike!! I am so excited to follow you on this journey for the next 10 weeks!!

The old Newfoundland joke about the speed of the Newfie Bullet train was that a young woman gets on the train in Port aux Basque and starts talking to her seat mate. She reveals that she is headed to the hospital in St John's because she is due to give birth. Her seat mate looks at her and says "you don't look pregnant" and she replies "aye by, but I'll be full term by the time we makes it to St Johns". Love Newfoundland. Our old cabin has damaged bathroom fixtures that were cracked during one of the trains many blow overs in the notorious Wreckhouse area of the Codroy Valley, so named because of the high winds that blow in off the gulf and caused the train to wreck many times!

So excited to watch this series !! Thanks !!

That was amazing. I really need to get to Newfoundland. Cant wait to see more

My excitement level is through the roof! Mike's videos are AWESOME!

Thanks for this upload Mike! It's really great seeing you traveling again! Success, safety and happy trails on your new adventures!!!

Wow! Love the production quality of this series. Can't wait until the rest of these are on KZfaq. Hopefully you can do more stuff like this

Loved this. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

This was a lot of fun to watch, looking forward to the rest of the series!

This was such a good watch! Cant wait for more!!

This brought a bit of a tear to my eyes! Wonderful video! Lived in the area around dildo my entire life until I moved to Halifax and watching the beautiful shots from dildo just made me extremely homesick. Thank you for actually taking time to visit the small communities and shining a light on the nice spots! keep it up! :)

Great film, looking forward to the rest of them!

This is really cool. I look forward to this series. As always, love your posts and your spirit. Be happy and well.

OMG this was the best travel video I've ever seen!!! Mike you're always great, but this video... OMG!!! Can hardly WAIT to watch the second. I feel privileged to be subscribed to you!

Thank you very much for creating this series! As a proud Canadian myself I am very excited to be able to experience travel videos focused on my country. Newfoundland has always been a place I wanted to learn more about, and this video did not disappoint.

So amazingly wonderful ! Thank you, as always. Mark

Awesome first episode. Can't wait to watch the rest of them. Traveling across Canada by train sounds really fun.

This is sooo awesome!! I’ve been to all the provinces except Newfoundland and I can’t wait to visit! Thank you for doing this series!

Great video! Lots of awesome sights and nice people! The winery looked like a lot of fun with the wild berry wines. The food looked great as well. Thanks for the trip and looking forward for more!

So excited for this! Great job Mike!!!!

I'm excited for this series!!!

Amazing video! Mike's energy is infectious. The clip at the end with his mom is hilarious, gave me 1 of several belly laughs throughout. =)

This was amazing. Mike’s videos are some of the best travel videos out there.

Love it, thank you, something to look forward to each week, inspiration for future travel

I love it, it was a really, really nice experience for me through you. It's such a beautiful places. It's a great places to be. It's like you are in a little bit of a dream world.

Thank you and Will and Tru Earth - I have watched all 10 two times - I am 78 and can't see well or go like you both can. Thank You again from Petersburg, West Virginia Your so good at these keep them coming Michael!

That ending! LOLLLLLLL! What a great journey this is so far, and wow that fish looks so good. Definitely want to check out that part of the world!

Newfoundland looks beautiful! I've always wanted to visit Canada and 2022 might just be the year I do it. Looking forward to this series.

This whole series I watched last weekend...it was a blast. THanks for the adventure with each episode and sharing all the interesting & helpful info. Felt like I was actually on the train!

Very cool. I'm really glad I came across your channel. Traveling by train creates such amazing experiences, able to see wonderful sights not possible via other means.

Woohoo have been waiting for this to be released - great work Mike and team!

This is such a thrilling adventure! About a month ago I began making my reservations for a month-long road trip from Chicago near my home to Saint-Pierre and back. There are so many exciting experiences to be had, and this video has gotten me even more excited.

I was SO looking forward to this. As a railway worker of many years I thank you for presenting your beautiful country with its wonderful railway to us. But 🤔... wine from New Foundland? Wow! Never thought of that!

My home! Glad you enjoyed your visit! I welcome everyone with open arms!!

What an amazing series! Looking forward to the next one!

Can’t wait for this series!

Thank you for showing where my Husband was in the Army in Newfoundland. And learning about his adventures. He was not in a war. We got acquainted, in Fort Worth, Texas. Where we were we both grew up.

@downielive is back... And with trains. Heck yeah!

This is so beautiful, I don't know why this has me choked up but I must say thank you for this video series.

I loved this! Thank you. One of greatest adventures of my life was a trip in a small plane, from San Francisco, northwest to St. John's. After the pilot's class reunion in Detroit, and a visit with some of his family, we stopped for refueling in Montreal and Charlottetown. (As an Anne of Green Gables enthusiast, when I was small, I was in HEAVEN on PEI ... so beautiful!) The flight over the Newfoundland island was fascinating. From the air, much/most of it appears to be a gigantic dense forest. I imagined everything I ever heard about magic fairy tales that took place in a forest, happening down there. The forestation is so dense that small planes can't readily look for potential emergency landing areas, which was my job as "navigator." However, when a flight plan is filed with Air Traffic Control, in Gander, they make contact with the planes - every 20 minutes, or so - to be sure that everything is OK. Now, I have some clue as to what's really down there. I loved the visit to St. John's. We didn't get to Dildo (I'd have remembered the name), but we visited Petty Harbor, to see the workings of the cod-fishing industry. We enjoyed a lot of fish-'n-chips, as you said. We also had deep fried cod tongues. Lobster, too. On the way home, before dipping south of the border, we stayed in Quebec City ... great French cooking! Then worked our way back to SF. 'm going to love this series!

Just absolutely top notch and inspirational at this same time. Glad you got to travel across the US by train and found some interesting options. On to the next adventure!

This has been on my bucket list for a decade!

So glad to see your adventures again! KZfaq has been boring without you!

So pumped for this new series!!

Loved these on TV can't wait to love them again every week.
