I thought about making that trip many times but didn't have the time due to work. After retiring didn't have the the means. Now I made the trip virtually, thank you.

There is no better way to see a country than by train and it just tells us how lovely Canada is, in fact what beautiful world we are lucky to live in

I enjoy the video, minimal low volume background. Showing the maps and menus. The inside of the train and scenery. I actually stay in my chair watch the whole video without getting up. Thank you Watertown, Connecticut

I've done this trip a couple times each way, but not for decades. There is nothing more beautiful or re-invigorating. You really have no idea how huge Canada is until you've done this. Especially when you bear in mind that Toronto is really in the middle of the country, not the east coast. Terrific video.

It was an absolute wonderful, thrilling, and a incredible experience...the beautiful sceneries, the snow capped mountains, the calm lakes, which reflected the heavens above, also not forgetting to mention the flowing rivers, the pine trees....marvelous train journey on a very lovely train

In the last eighteen months I've travelled on quite a few virtual train journeys, but this one beats them all. What a terrific experience! I've always wanted to see The Rockies and now I have. Thank you so much for this brilliant video. Everything about it is perfect. ❤

I rode the Canadian in 1964 I was 12 years old. My Dad had taken the entire family on a train trip from San Fr(ancisco to the New York worlds fair. Took another train Delaware central? and went to Quebec city where we took the Canadian from. It was a magical trip we went coach but we could eat in the dining car. I love that they still have the same dome cars. Thank you for the great video! (we took 2 other trains back through Seattle to SF) Thank you again I would love to take the same trip again someday!

Thanks Steve, this is absolutely the best Great Canadian Rockies video ever.

I like that this video doesn’t have talking it’s very relaxing

[michaelformaini]

Absolutely one of the best rail passenger videos I have ever seen. I've done all of the western Canadian routes back in 1989 and 1995 and much of the scenery west of Hinton Alberta was familiar to me. My jaw dropped and tongue fell out at the many delightful dishes served in the Dining Cars and Cafe. The availability of breakfast on arrival at Vancouver was a pleasant surprise. I chuckled at seeing the Amtrak security fence to the left at Vancouver. I arrived from Seattle that way in 1995. You have done great justice to Train No 1 Toronto to Vancouver Steve so congratulations from this Aussie from Melbourne. Cheers!🙂🙂🙂

[ronaldchives]

What a staggeringly beautiful country. This is the best train journey video I’ve ever seen, thank you. I’ll watch this again and again🙂xxx

[lisaj]

Thank you for capturing all that beauty. Also thank you for the peace and quiet, no talking or music. It was a pleasure to watch.

What a fantastic video. At the end I had the feeling of doing the journey myself. I restarted the video on a huge TV and it was so impressive like looking out of the train window. Living in Europe makes it very expensive to get a transcontinental ride on the Canadian. But it will be my personal trip of a lifetime and I hope to do it in 2024. Very warm greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

Thanks a million, Steve! We are doing this 4-day trip in Oct 26th, then drive back to Kamloops, Banff and Calgary. You video helped a lot on what to expect! You did a great job and lots of techniques applied to provide helpful info. A Real PRO!

[dougberry]

It amazes me that VIA travels the Fraser Canyon in the dark in both directions. The most scenic part of the whole journey.

[surath]

Excellent video. Almost like watching a movie. Superb photography and editing. Never a dull moment. Watching this may be the next best thing to actually travelling the route (which we are unlikely to get a chance to)! Thanks Steve for all your effort.

[depeekaindia]

STEVE, you have done a fantastic job. I have seen many train videos but I never seen one like yours. You showed us the beautiful view you did not have a lot of talk or noise you had some beautiful explanation on the screen . I salute you and thank you so much.

[danielgiraud]

Awesome! Thanks from the African continent.

[billj_]

Another fantastic train video! You really know how to let the trip come to the viewer.

[mikeedwards]

Excellent snapshot of lower berth, stations, stops, dining, service and the trip . It really helps for me to plan my trip.
