You my man are a story teller from another planet. If you keep this travel vlog stuff coming, you are going to get far on this channel! Came here from the living in sweden video. Me being norwegian who have spent half a year in the rockies BC snowboarding and living in a campervan I found this video very interesting. Thanks for such good and chill content!

Thank you so much for making this video and also huge thanks to all the creators who helped making this video. Great content!

“No I’m not neutral. I’m on the side of whatever’s more interesting.”

Great vid, even has my son looking up the routes. Thanks for posting Trav 👍🏼

Let’s fricken go I love the train vids they are soooooo good trav Great vid man Can’t wait to see what’s happening with your season

Came across this video, since I'll be doing this same trip in Dec. and wanted to know what I can expect. Fantastically done. I love the exterior shots, they were incredible. Don't think I have seen it being done by other travel KZfaqrs, it's great that so many ppl helped you with it cause it truly does make your video stand out among other ViaRail ones I've seen. I rode American version of this early this year, California Zephyr from Amtrak. Highly recommend it, if you havent done it. The most diverse landscape I have ever seen on a trip.

Been waiting for more train content from you, I am beyond excited for this

Amazing footage trav! Love the vid!

When I ride this train I’ll be getting off in Jasper. My friend is gonna be waiting for me there. And then I’ll go stay with her for a little bit, and hop back on the train two weeks later to get back to Toronto… or fly back, whichever is cheapest

Hi Trav love your channel my 9 year old son is starting his 2nd year as goalie and I have been picking up tips from you as I never played in net and don't know anything about helping him. I just wanted to take the time to thank you your videos help. I had him in goalie camp last week at Atlantic Goalie Academy they were great and I picked up lots of drills to help him. That train trip is on my bucket list.

Looked like a great trip. It’s always nice to travel alone or with a friend on this trips! It’s definitely not a party trip! Thanks Trav always great content!💚💚💚🇨🇦

genuinely one of the most underrated channels ive seen in all time. hope u the best!

Man, this is an awesome video. By far, the coolest way to travel is by train. In contrast, I traveled from Dar es Salaam, Tanzania to Harare, Zimbabwe by bus one time. It was brutal! The run was three days and I only drank bottled water and ate crisps (potato chips) the whole time...

Great vid again Trav. Made the journey as a 4 year old when we moved from Toronto to Australia in 1971. Not much memory of it so loved the scenery in the vid - maybe I’ll get there again one day.

Glad you enjoyed your trip buddy, even with the restrictive space for sleeping. Keep up the good work !

What is the Toronto to Vancouver route on the Canadian like? Everything from the views, to food, and more. This is Canada's most famous train and this is my journey on it! New videos every Sunday

Nice travel vlog. Haven't taken Via in a minute, and even then, never to Vancouver. Some spectacular views to be sure.

Canada can do HSR (high speed rail) because cities are all on relatively linear path. Van, Cal, Sas, Win, slight bend to Tor, and Mon, to Queb and onto Halifax if you want.

Awesome video trav I’m going to ride on the Canadian one day because of these awesome videos🇨🇦

As a retired Canadian history and geography you have done an excellent video of the trip. I agree, if doing the whole route start in Toronto. After doing that in 2021, I now just go Vancouver to Edmonton and then fly back to Vancouver as that is the better direction for that part. I did it once in Economy, and the food was dreadful as it no longer provides the nice meals you showed. Having a decent meal in Jasper was the highlight of that trip. I think I got 3 hours of sleep that night. I now travel in a berth. This gives me a great bed, access to the shower and excellent food in the dining car.

Great video thanks for using our clip glad to have been part of this excellent video production

I live in Alberta and EASILY the Bear's paw is where I go when I take visitors to, when I take them to Jasper. It's absolutely beautiful there and I love that you enjoyed that!

I honestly think I will do that trip one day man. All because of this video. Great job

Back plate tribute for the VIA Canadian train would look awesome on your next mask . Mountain landscape with the train passing by👌👌

Awesome would love to take that ride someday great footage

Good job. Great video.

This is a beautiful journey. That said, no shower is a real deal-breaker for me.

Ngl, I fuck with the mini history lesson from Trav. Some great views in there

I took the train from Minnesota to Southern California. Lots of scenery and books to read. The food you shared looks 10 times better!

Great video!

i 💘 your video i travel toronto to Edmonton to last year it was winter time that time i 💘 it beautiful 🇨🇦..❤❤❤

Hi, Looking at making the trip from Toronto to Jasper by train in economy. Any tips to know what to bring (food) and how to keep your stuff safe when not around your bag?

Gonna really miss Swedish Trav... became a fan of you thanks to those vids. I really hope you end up back there! Seemed like you really enjoyed the European Life!

beauty of a trip

The mountains are the best part

Heyy, I saw you brought a water jug, did that count as part of your luggage (did you bring it in one your bags or did they let it slide)?

Does the The Canadian go through Newmarket, Ontario? I've never seen it, but we saw the Canadian on the GO line north of Downsview this past Sunday morning, and I don't know if the Barrie line connects. I'd love to see it.

Great filmography and detailed coverage.. perhaps a carreer in railway marketing someday when the knees surrender. Give us a heads up when travelling through Kamloops...getcha into some rez hockey..prep ya for chicago. ✊

Great video, how were you able to sleep on both seats on the train? did you book two seats? I am looking at taking the economy class to vancouver but I am hesitant on being sat beside someone for the whole trip. / having to sleep in my seat

Great video, Travis My Dad and I did this trip, but Vancouver to Toronto in late November. Dad and I were wondering what the trip would be like traveling the other direction east to west, and judging by your video, it looks like we may be doing that trip thus coming fall sometime. When we traveled recently, we had a sleeper and were the same size as you as well as a goalie. It looks like that was a good decision on our part even though it was expensive. Keep the videos coming, sir Thank you

i love canada only been to niagara fall trying to visit toronto next year but we will see good video

Thank you so much for making this video - my dad might make the rail trip out west to see us this sunner and I wanted to get an idea of what he should expect. Quick question: did they bring you boiling water for your coffee or did you have to boil it yourself? It looks like you may have had your own kettle (Dad drinks tea and I want to make sure he has options). Thanks so much again - I really appreciate this video.

I did the Canadian Vancouver-Toronto back in October 2021 and loved it. Pricy though; 2300$ for a cabin for one. I'd like to do it again Toronto to Vancouver in a cabin for two, ideally with a Sleeper Class plus discount. I could do it in a coach seat all the way, but the very thought of not showering for 4 days grosses me out. The advantage of going eastbound and westbound is that you see different parts of the country in both day time and night time. One part that looks very good aside from the mountains, is the area between Saskatoon and Winnipeg. It's called the Manitoba escarpment. Interesting landscape.

hey trav i’ve been looking for good knee protectors and I can’t find any good reviews online what would you recommend?

What an epic journey and awesome video... Kudos to you... I am doing this trip in May 2023. One question: Is it legal to fly my drone at some of the stops along the route if all other parameters (no fly zone etc) are ok?

Does Via Rail have a rail pass like Amtrak? I'd like to get out for a couple overnights on the way like Winnipeg or a provincial like Town Jasper.

You probably went past me working on track by souix lookout/dryden area lol

I should try this train at next trip to canada thanks for the info But no shower is pretty critical

There are so many vloggers out there doing train rides. And the food is always decent.

The Canadian shield in the fall is nice.

Beautiful Canada!#

I think something must have happened with their food offerings since this video was made. We did return journey, vancouver to jasper and all they could offer for food were microwaveable meals and sandwiches. On the return journey other passengers who had travelled from toronto said all they'd eaten for 3 days since departing were sandwiches.

how do u get the outside shots while the train is moving

The original Canadian, in 1955, did not cross that bridge into Winnipeg Station. The original Canadian was a CPR passenger train that ran on CP lines and the original station is on Higgins, at Main. The Canadian, by Via Rail, did not come into existence until 1978. It was at that time that it started using the CN station on Main St.

hey man, how did you boil your water? is jetboil allowed inside the train?

Exactly the thing I’d do bringing a pour over onboard haha I thought you’d get a cabin in economy sleeping on chairs is not the one!

I took VIA Rail on The Canadian trip in May of 2019, from Toronto to Vancouver, back when they offered the "Escape" fare in the Economy class for around only $350. But they only sold a limited number of Escape tickets per train before the price went up to the normal Economy ticket, which I believe was around $500-600. I'm guessing it was just to help fill the economy cars at the time. I don't think the Escape ticket is offered anymore unfortunately.

I’m so excited to take this train. My dog can’t fly in a plane cabin, so I’m bringing him on the train instead!

Fab footage, lovely to see all those exterior shots. I had to slow your video down to 75% as your commentary was too fast for me. We travelled Toronto -Vancouver in May and yes, retired with an inheritance to spend.

Hey Trav, just wondering if u still have the links to your old compilation videos for years past or if you could share them with me, I heard a song the other day that was in one of the videos and it got me feeling nostalgic and I see you have removed them from KZfaq for some reason, any way you can help me out, just wanna watch them

Been up in the cn tower

Ah yes. Melville, Sk. The city was named for Charles Melville Hayes, who at the time of the settlement's initial construction was the president of the Grand Trunk Railway. Hays was on board the Titanic when it sank. Melville is also the home if Tim Cheveldae and good ol Ron Hextall also played for the Mils. That's it....i'm out of Melville info. I work for that pesky freight railroad here. The novelty wears off a bit when your on trains every day. Cool video though. Well done.

nice video.

is there id requirements to travel on board or before boarding

Question can I get the window seat? Because if I end up sitting with someone I prefer window

nice 5 star plus nice , this video is for common man like me who is not rich & is average jo nice really nice 🇨🇦🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦🇨🇦🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁. Thanks so much for video for average people not the super rich class .

my first vid from you, but can we see more food on the train too in future trips? otherwise, great vid

Here's an interesting tidbit: Until January 15th, 1990, a one-way, economy class, trip on the daily Canadian from Vancouver to Toronto running a 70 hour schedule cost 115 dollars (224.29 nowadays adjusted for inflation). With the departure of the remnants of the Canadian from Vancouver at 8 p.m. on January 15th, 1990, prices for the same ticket went up to 600 dollars and took thirteen hours longer, and the train only ran tri-weekly.

Some solid effort in the editing, requires a lot of clips to make changes between percussions like that for 11 mins Its almost a shame because you bearly get to enjoy the vista before a new one pops up but thats just nitpicking ^^ Neat work!

Whenever I go to bc my grandparents always go to the bears paw

How much was the price economy ?

Trav......are you playing this season? I haven't seen any ewcent videos on this. Thanks buddy.

Paused the video at the start. Before I forget. That card I got you. If you register it tons of discounts with Via rail

the commentary was freakin on point, i wish the video was longer.

Färjestads BK in Sweden just got a new Canadian goaltender, Matt Tomkins, have you heard of this guy? Is he any good?

Who I wish I could go on that train

Train journeys are 10x better than flying

Ever been to Halifax?

What!? They took the glass dome out if economy !?

Thanks for the vid...but coffee on the Canadian is available for free 24/7 and it's pretty good. Making coffee on the floor seems pretty inconvenient....

berth price comes with 3 meals a day and access to the 360 view car and a shower , price varies according to time of year. No way I'd go on coach , noisy and uncomfortable .

It's actually illegal to use your own heating devices on-board the train.

5days sitting. My God

No wifi?

no shower for 4 nights is painful

How are you able to sleep and shower?

Kamloops isn’t the Okanagan, and if it were it would be the asshole. Good video otherwise!

He speaks so fast. 😢

FIVE DAYS in economy........no thanks

5 days journey on a chair ? That's Economy. Naah thats just means Via Rail's broke af

what utter nonsense....traveling economy from GTA to Vancouver is close to hell....there is nothing to do..u are stuck in a restricted seat, no showers, no wife, no food (unless u bring your own or by the expensive stuff they sell on the train)...they do offer hot water but u have to bring your own supplies....one or two toilets that are used by dozens of people in economy.and it is a real mess...the noise is unbearable....the train stops very frequently to let cargo trains pass by....this is one trip u must avoid...all this BS about the scenery...u wont see sheet...as it often rainy and dark...and you are too hungry to worry about the landscape....try not changing your underpants for 5 days and u will get the feeling ...u are better off paying the $600 and flying....i have experienced this trip and it is a nightmare....read other reviews on economy travel to vancouver or vice versa and u will see that i am not speakng from my backside...on social media people tend to brag or hype all sorts of crap....
