Via Rail Cabin For 2 Room Tour on the Canadian | One of Our Favorite Train Sleeper Cars

My husband and I took this kind of VIA rail train from Toronto to Vancouver, and it was a very comfortable train ride. Meals in the dining car were awesome. I would love to do it again, but unfortunately my husband passed away 9 years ago, so I would have to go alone this time. The beds were comfy and the motion of the train put me to sleep. My one and only complaint was the train whistle which you hear quite frequently because of train crossings. I made my husband use the top bunk because I’m up quite often in the night to use the bathroom and I didn’t feel comfortable using the ladder in the dark.

The Canadian is my favourite North American train.. Nothing beats the nostalgia of the 50s era stainless steel Budd cars, the views and definitely the food. It never ever runs on time, but if you’re in no hurry and want to detach from the world for four days, this is one of the best ways to do it.

My wife and I had a cabin for 2 on The Canadian (train #2) from Vancouver to Toronto, since we wanted to take the train home and loved every moment of the experience. Totally recommend this to anyone who would love to see Canada in a distinctly different way.

I rode the Canadian from Vancouver to Toronto in 2018 in April. I had a room just like this to myself. It was far and away the best train trip I've ever taken (and I've been riding trains since the 1960s).

The dining car, at least when I took the trip in 2018, was breathtakingly excellent. Three meals a day for four days -- two or three entries for each meal, and I never saw the same menu twice. Actual tables and chairs in the dining car, starched white linen table cloths, superb food served by uniformed servers. The wines were excellent. Everything about that trip was to die for.

My trip, in 2018, cost me about $2,000 US.

What an impressive room looks spacious and a private bathroom is awesome

You and your husband are so pleasant to watch for my viewing pleasure. You are both such sweet people. So eas6 on the eyes and ears . There is another man riding Amtrak and it's disappointing because he complains about so many things . You two always get a thumbs up. Had to give the other guy thumbs down just because I don't like touch negativity.Thanks for enriching my life . Had fun in Switzerland with you last night . Thanks to the sweetest travelers on YouTube.

Thanks for taking us on this journey with you. I can't wait to take this train.

The Canadian may be the second longest sleeper train in the world and take almost a hundred hours to get between Toronto and Vancouver but that doesn't stop me from wanting to try it! I've never been to Canada, but I've seen enough videos of VIA Rail to think that these Budd cars from the 1950s are awesome!

I hope you both had wonderful holidays! Happy New Year too!!!
It is so wonderful to have a new video from you folks! I love this sleeping cabin. Well presented too.
I am looking forward to continuing my vicarious travel adventures in 2023 with you both!!!

Outstanding!! These cars were built during the '40's & '50's & are well maintained. My family & I will be making a one way trip next year on this route. I have concerns about armchairs with no leg rests or ways to put my feet up during the day for a 4 day cross-country trip. We may consider booking the Prestige Class sleeper rooms which offer more room for taller & larger people in my family. Comfort is crucial when travelling long distances like this which is considered a Bucket List item for many. I consider this a hotel on wheels. Upscale hotel chains average $250.00+/night. Pricey but worth it when rolling on rails.

From what I have seen on your Canadian rail videos, Canada's Via Rail is top notch with very comfortable accommodations.

One of your best descriptive videos. Thank you for the update on the 'Canadian', obviously this train has had some technology upgrades in the last few years. Well demonstrated on your part.

I am not a train person but I love watching your videos. Your genuine, love for rail travel is inspiring. Safe travels and keep uploading videos.❤❤

Thank you for another great video. I hope in the near future to ride this train. Just keep those videos coming! Highly enjoyable

I just shared this video of the Canadian to my sisters and sister-in-law suggesting we take a trip together. I really like your videos.

I like coach to meet new people, and the dome cars to see the scenery while sipping a few brews

I am so delighted you guys made this trip! It's the top of my to-do train list.
Your channel has been informative and very inspiring. Thanks and keep up the good work.
(Im riding the Zephyr 1/25 eastbound and 1/27 westbound, if any fellow fans of this channel care to join me in the dining car.)

Happy New Year and thank you for your awesome channel

This was one of the best trips we took!!
My husband especially loved it as he has been a train enthusiast so nice he was a child❤

I enjoy your VIA and Amtrak train tours.
