This is certain to happen at some point in the Canadian Shield, which follows the grandstand views of Toronto as the train leaves Union Station. There is no better way to appreciate the size and diverse landscapes of Canada It leaves from Union Station, built by the Canadian Pacific and unquestionably Canada’s finest railway station. The train takes the more northerly of the two trans-continental routes, passing through Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Edmonton and Jasper. VIA Rail Canada’s flagship train takes 86 hours over four nights to cover the 2,775 miles between Toronto in Ontaria and Vancouver in British Columbia. Question 7 was a trick one: they both have double-decker carriages.ĭo what I did – try them both! You won’t regret it… The Canadian
If yes to 3, 5 and 6, the Rocky Mountaineer would be a better fit.
If you answered yes to 1, 2 and 4, go for The Canadian. Are you a fan of double-decker carriages? Would you like to be able to see every bit of passing scenery (by not travelling at night)?ħ. Fancy the idea of the breeze in your face and a camera lens unobscured by glass on an open veranda?Ħ. Do social history and topography float your boat?ĥ. Are epic cross-continental journeys your thing?Ĥ. To help you choose which would work best for you, I have given an overview of both (below) – and compiled a short quiz:Ģ. Problem is there are two options – the Rocky Mountaineer and The Canadian – both very tempting. How about this for a dilemma… you’re crossing the Atlantic to spend time in a country of epic, pristine beauty and want to take a train journey through the stupendously scenic Rocky Mountains.
