Here is my Video Travelogue showing a detailed look into the daily routine of travelling 4 nights aboard Canada’s long distance Train. I show you the meals, sleeping arrangements, dome cars, activities, bathrooms, shower and scenery. I flew from St. John’s Newfoundland - the eastern most City...

For those who have time on their hands … this 46 minute video is a wee bit long lol but I finally had the time to string together the video clips from Vancouver to Toronto. I included 11 minutes of clips in the middle of this video from our stopover in Jasper. Since I mentioned my previously...

After reading about the buffer car attached to the end of Park Car I could not help but look at my video clips and Park Car photos from May. This is what I found. I joined the videos and photos into this 2 minute video. Here is the video link.

The last number of weeks I noticed the VIA website no longer offers select Sleeper Class discounts. The page is still available but no discounts . Anyone here know if this is a seasonal thing?

Part two. My first video focused on the food this one focuses on Carleton or car 218. This one shows the sections, roomettes, bedrooms, bathrooms and shower. Plus bonus footage of the Park Car. Hopefully this link to the YouTube video works.

My foodie brother in-law suggested I do a video of some meals onboard the Canadian during my trip last month. I though the food was catered and warmed up like on the Ocean Train I took between Halifax and Montreal in February. I was not expecting the food to be cooked on board and so...

I posted my VIA Rail Feb 2022 Halifax to Montreal trip video on the VIA Rail thread some time ago. I come to realize this thread is probably the more appropriate thread to post my trip report video. For those who contribute to the VIA Rail thread please note that this video has been...

Here is the longer version of our trip from Halifax to Montreal in February. The trailer was posted here some time ago. Here is the YouTube link.

I booked this section yesterday. This is the unit and car on my reservation. We have same unit for both the Vancouver to Jasper leg and the Jasper to Toronto leg three days later. The drawing on the Via website shows three sections per car but they are not numbered. Does anyone know which...

I put together a short 1 minute video clip of my trip on the Ocean in early February. The trip was great. My son enjoyed his first VIA Rail trip but like his mom he said he would rather fly lol. He took the fast route home with his mom. Not me, I am going it alone and making the return...

Are my dad‘s HO model CN passenger cars an accurate representation of those used pre-Via Rail? Were these trains painted and used by Via Rail in the late 70’s? Here is a link to a video of me playing with dad’s HO model trains videoed with the new GoPro that I plan on using during my February...

I looked through the boxes of HO Model Train stuff that belonged to my late father, a long time CNR railroader. I decided on VIA Rail for my first consist and the Imovie app for my foray at video editing. Are the following car numbers and names based on current or past VIA rolling stock? I put...

I am booked in Car 1539 Unit 6 going from Halifax to Ottawa and Car 1439 Unit 6 on my return. I assume it is the same car and room both ways as the train numbers are 15 westward bound and 14 going east. Since they no longer turn the train around in Halifax does this mean that I will be forward...

Is The Ocean generally on time for the posted arrivals times in both Montreal and Halifax? Going west I have just under two hours in Montreal (no baggage) before catching my train to Ottawa and going east my arrival time is 5:57 pm and I'm considering booking a flight home at 10:10 pm. I will...
