Trying to secure my post retirement career as a train traveller

@@trav4oilers LMFAOOO

What a way to have a honey moon though eh Carl? I don't know if it gets any better!

Regardless, hope you enjoyed it the same Johnny! Thanks for giving it a shout man

Was taht Amtrek? I heard they're even better than via rail

It was! It was a great way to see some of the states. Lots of night scapes!

@Juan Sanchez As of now, Amtrak has officially beat VIA service-wise.

Especially with the prices right now? How could you possibly beat it. Watch the views in person man. they're even better

Train views are 2nd to none my friend .You don't gotta worry about the driving. Thanks for watching this one Tommy!

The train is so magical in so many ways. The video is cool but I wish you could have seen the views in person. Incredible

Hey better late than never man. Thanks for leaving a comment and thank you for watching. Just trying to keep the quality videos going regardless

Thanks for watching man. Glad you enjoyed. Part 2 from Toronto coming in July! Thanks again for the support

Dude this was my favourite to make for awhile. Thanks for watching and giving it the time. Means a lot for these ones

Thanks for watching Wes!

Thanks Josh!

Bro I would love nothing more than to do all passion projects. Sadly she don't pay the bills but it sure does feel good. Thanks again for the feedback to help with the final episode

Hey thanks for giving it a shout man! Not a typical video so gotta break out all the stops. I figured some of my tricks would work on you ;)

Oh dude the airports and flight traffic right now is brutal. Covid aside. Via rail is absolutely the way to go right now. Cheers brother

Hey thanks for watching man. Appreciate the love brother!

Trying to dable and figure out my post retirement videos, this may be it! Thanks for watching Nathan. Hope you enjoyed!

@@trav4oilers yea I really enjoyed it thanks for making videos

When did you take the journey? It's an awesome one eh

@@trav4oilers 2008 ages ago

hey, Sask does suck but on a journey like this. You gotta give it some love

That's awesome Damon. Thanks for watching man. Let me know how it goes. It's a true beauty man

@@trav4oilers Absolutely man, can’t turn down the chance to ride it a few times with these prices being as good as they are right now. 180 bucks from Van City to the Peg and with all those unbeatable views? Cant get any better than that brotha

@@trav4oilers Gotta take a ride on the Churchill express as well, I’m sure you’ve seen Downie’s video on it, looks like an amazing trip into the north

ro I'd love to go Halifax to Montreal on the Via's the ocean but who knows.

@@trav4oilers Fingers crossed !

Hey thanks for watching Brian. Glad you liked it. More of a passion project but glad you gave it a shot. See ya monday for the next video

Hope you love this one man!

90% of the drone stuff I took myself, the other 10% were from other Via videos. I just let er rip. Thanks for watching man. I loved making this one, more to come hopefully

Would express deals be a last minute ticket or?

@@trav4oilers not necessarily, I’ve seen trips a couple of weeks away on there, I hope that when things get back to normal they return to Via’s website

Maritimer? or the Ocean from Via Rail? HAHAHA least ya got some poutine. That's about all Quebec has ;) I'll come pick ya up Pauly, dont ya worried

@@trav4oilers The Maritime Express was a CN train mail and express train way back when in the 1960s. Back in the day, there were three daily Montreal-Moncton-Halifax trains, the Ocean (The premier train) the Scotian (The running mate of the Ocean, slightly slower but just as classy), and the Maritime Express (The economy train that carried mail and express). There was also the CP route that went from Montreal to St. John, New Brunswick by way of Brownville Junction and Jackman, Maine; it was called the Atlantic Limited. The Maritime Express died in the early 1960s with the start of the Red, White, and Blue program of CN, The Scotian lasted until 1979, when a financially-strained VIA Rail cut it. The Atlantic was extended from St. John to Halifax in 1978, only to be discontinued in 1981, only to be brought back to life in 1985. At the same time, the Ocean was cut to a Montreal-Moncton train, and a daylight connector continued on to Halifax. In 1990, the Ocean and the Atlantic were reduced to tri-weekly by the foolish Mulroney government cuts, however the Ocean was reextended to Halifax. In December, 1994, the Atlantic died for good, and the Ocean was brought up to six-times-weekly service. Lastly in this sad saga, it was once again reduced to tri-weekly in 2012, the result of the Harper cuts. It was proposed that it run tri-weekly in the winter, but six-times-weekly in the summer, the jerk president of VIA refused. When the Ocean is returned in August, it will be a once-weekly train with the worst equipment that VIA has, and non-existent prospects for the future, given the bad track it rolls on and the fact that it runs with equipment that is literally falling apart. This is the sad relic of the once-great rail passenger services of the Canadian Maritimes. Of course, there was also the Cabot, a Montreal-Edmunston-Moncton-Sydney, Nova Scotia train, and an abundance of local trains, like the Evangeline (Yarmouth-Halifax) and the unnamed trains to Fredricton, NB. Those are little-known trains that all died a long time ago, so I won't go into much detail about those.

What a crazy journey brother. Thanks for watching

Glad we feel the same way ;)

It's one of the most coming sensations I've ever had in my life

Thanks for enjoying man. Westjet is brutal, at least air Canada is giving refunds. Yeah been over 16 months since the ocean was rolling. Taking the via is magical. I’ll be on the Toronto route next month!

He skims all the comments sections for comments about him so Liam Sweeney IS A TERRIBLE DRIVER.

we have made a pact for another future journey. When? I got no idea hahah

I'm hooked man. Loved em as a kid, love em as an adult

I got a subscription to Epidemic Sound

Glad you loved the views and drone stuff brother. Hey I love travelling and food. I think my post retirement thing is a travel blogger

@@trav4oilers I would follow that....

Hey Mitch thanks for watching man. We share the love of trains and love of goaltending. Sunrise sunset views can't touched

Smells like stinky hockey gear, that's forsure!

Stocking up on footage for weeks and month before so I can piece everything together smoothly my friend

I'M THE NEW Peter McKinnon

@@trav4oilers Okay Sam Newton

Hey Ross, I filmed everything myself. Stocked up on footage over the weeks and months previous shooting in different locations that would fit the descriptions of the place I would be heading. Heard you are the leading in all time trips on the Canadian. I'm coming for your record ;)

@@trav4oilers you have on your video clips from my KZfaq channel. I did not give you permission to use my content in your video here. If you had asked me first I wouldn’t have had a problem with it. But since you did not ask my permission I am not giving you permission. Time stamps 0:12-0:14 and 2:04 - 2:08 in your video here are from two videos on my channel. You said you video documented everything yourself your not telling the truth try again

Work on foot speed but then again I aint super fast so many ask my trainer Brian?

Ok thanks

Amen brother. Doesnt get much better. Remember the hockey bus trip days. Good times

You'll see coming up ;)

hahah hey glad somebody finally caught the Chef Mike joke. Chef Paul was a beauty. I talked to him for a split second on the train.

Hey bro, yeah great chatting with you man. You got my dream job. We got stuck in traffic and by the time we got their the train was long gone. I'm doing the Toronto to Winnipeg route July 5th I believe. You working that one? send me a DM on instagram. easier replies. Did you drive this journey? it was a week later. thanks again man

Hey man, I’m doing Toronto to Winnioeg July 11 and was planning winnioeg to Vancouver in July 29 or August 2 before I leave to sweden. Any word if you’d be working either?

I've always been a teddy bro. Lets do this again next moday for the next video. Thanks for watching man

I know but I just didn’t want to admit it till now 😂 keep posting on your normal channel here I’ll be watching all em

I got hot water, made a pour over :)

Hey this could be my big break!

Where about in the states bro? Trust me you’re lucky better off in the US right now than here

@@trav4oilers About 10 minutes North of Philadelphia...Flyers fans in this house unfortunately...the cool thing about being here is my kid met Carter Hart at training camp at the beginning of the 2019-2020 season

Hey I've heard from my buddy Michael Downie that the Amtrak in the states is incredible. Depends if you ride in the summer. You won't need a coat, winter as long as you don't get out of the train ;0 regardless it's an experience you'll want and won't forget. Thanks for dropping a message Kelly. All the best :)

@@trav4oilers I have lived in AZ for over two decades I am in Fountain Hills near Scottsdale, trust me when I say I need to experience rain, snow and having to wear cold weather gear!!! Our Winters have been way milder than usual in fact they have become tolerant Summers we have had no monsoon or rain to speak of in 2 years basically and I am so ready to be in the cold to see trees lots of trees and watch the Canadian terrain go by LOL

Legit I've been working on this project for weeks, months man. Been stock piling footage through Manitoba of the train to disgust it as the rest of western canada. When I was in Vancouver. I had Sweeney helping me 24/7 stocking up on footage from around the area. It was a grind and a half project.

I did more research after and apparently I undershot it. Usually $700 each way for economy and $7000 for prestige class EACH way. not a roundtrip. I pay $184 with taxes haha

@@trav4oilers wow!!!! That's insane.. I would take a train too but not for those prices🤣. 200$ sure.. but not $1400..lol

I love how you still post these. You're a stud brother

$184 each way right now man. The prices doent get cheaper

Yenno I've heard this a few times before. Not sure if this is good or bad

See if you book 2 months in advance right now thats great, but theyre cheap because you have no idea if the world is shut down or open then. I could get a ticket for the Canadian departing vancouver for tomorrow and its still dirt cheap

@@trav4oilers During this pandemic...fair enough. I saw that the dome car was not accessible...that sucks!

Would love to do the Toronto to Montreal route and then Montreal to Halifax. What a treat it would be

@@trav4oilers that would be an amazing route to do!!

@@trav4oilers hey man seriously thanks for interacting with us (with me) lol pretty cool of you man.

@@rossmontreal4570 I try to reply to everybody brother. Anytime. Thank you for watching! Really appreciate it ;)

@@trav4oilers only watch cause I trying to encourage you cause I’ve been there down it and I want you to get the shirt. Wish I did!

Hey I always respond brother. Love anybody who puts the time in to watch one of my videos. Thank you!

@@trav4oilers thanks for responding

It would put it up there (the breakfast) as a pretty high quality restaurant meal. Maybe not the dinner but the airplane meals are garbage

I wish I had a sponsorship. I didn't get anything from them. Would love a few tickets in the future haha thanks for watching brother

Hey thanks for checking out the video brother, I got another video from Toronto to Winnipeg coming up on the 30th. Can't wait to share with you. Thanks Juan!

@@trav4oilers That will be fun! Thanks!

Bro cmon. The 12 dislikes are airport travel bloggers

Hey this is my post retirement career ;) Thanks for watching man. I appreciate it.

$184 each way? You'll find a hard time beating the price today, especially in regular times

Hey man you gotta try it. Although you cant leave your room on the train when you get in

@@trav4oilers I have BY SLEEPER 2x great & quiet trip with good food
