Просмотров 616Год назад
Take a short walking tour with us through the historic Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario. One of Canada's many great railway museums, Smiths Falls, Ontario, Canada has seen its share of change over the past century. But the railways still reign supreme throughout the town both in the museum and on the main CPR transcontinental and VIA Rail passenger lines that bisect the community.
Long Sault Parkway, eastern Ontario Canada - 10 lost villages and hamlets
Просмотров 3,3 тыс.Год назад
Ten kilometers west of Cornwall Ontario Canada and upstream from the Moses-Saunders hydro electic dam, lie the remnants of the villages that were lost when the mighty St Lawrence river rapids were damed in 1958. We take drive and reflect on this once in a lifetime event where history lives on and Long Sault remains a summer playground for families and campers on the banks of Lake St Lawrence.

How Much Fare
How much did it cost?
Very nice great video 👍🖐
Nice 👍👏🖐
And here on the ny side, we were promised cheap power, instead stole our land and natural river, and gave the cheap power to corporations
Please don't mumble at the camera....SPEAK CLEARLY.
I enjoyed that - thanks for sharing. I've booked a cabin for 1 on the Canadian over Christmas this year to check off a bucket list item I never got to do with my late wife..
this baby could do 125MPH
Awesome video!
Thank You!
Great Video!
One of the best videos I’ve seen of the Canadian and I’ve seen just about them all! The music was great the videography It’s been a long time dream of mine to take that train ….. don’t know if I ever will get to do it but it sure is nice to watch all the train videos I have taken The Ocean many times starting from an early age but I haven’t been past southern Ontario on a train Thank you for posting… It’s been so enjoyable, watching And you guys are a lovely couple
Thanks so much for your note. VIA rail are a first class operation with friendly crew and fantastic food. I’m glad you enjoyed our video. -John
It’s a treat to travel on VIA trains during 2023 I got to experience amazing train journeys Winnipeg Thompson, Ottawa Montreal, Montreal Quebec City and Quebec City to Ottawa
Looking forward to this happening with 2 Siemens Venture trainsets.
Always on the lookout, but I think only 2 sets are now in service over the whole network
@@Kingshighway1930 They are about to put 2 more in service. I gather three will be on Ottawa-Quebec and one will be on Ottawa-Toronto, so ya, it will be a while.
Great video!
If I win the lottery my second home will be either Toronto or Vancouver.
What’s that third light above the Via logo?
супер!! хочу на таком поезде ехать
As you walked from one sleeping car to the next it occurred to me that I have had the pleasure of calling each one of those cars home at some point over the years
Furniture is ugly, its too expensive for what you get, and as a solo traveller…..well the cabin for one is ridiculous. One gets a toilet that isn’t enclosed, and instead of a door we get a curtain. Noooooo. The train is not the way to go for a solo traveller, on a budget or not. I did actually want to take this train til i saw what kind of cabin Id get.
Great scarf
Looks like nice weather!
Great music Great scenery stay safe from over the pond in the U.K.
The last time I worked as a Trainman on this train; the 'Canadian' was on Dec. 31 '89/Jan. 1 '90. Two weeks later it was gone from CP tracks. I haven't been on it since. Seeing it taken off of the very tracks that it had run on since its inaugural run in 1955 and moved to CN tracks was a very difficult thing to see for all who had worked on it for years - even decades. It was a very sad time to be a railroader! Many of us still miss her! 😢
All those masks. Canadians are a dumb bunch
great video. We are booked for the trip June 28/23. Anything recommendations of must do/must not do ? Thanks
Take the time to have a coffee in Jasper and if you are in Winnipeg during daylight hours enjoy the 2.5 hours stop at the nearby Forks
Wonderful video. Love the music as well. We are taking this trip in May 2023. Thanks
At the moment traveling by Plane is a disaster. For me it's not the destination, but rather the journey. Probably why I'm a sailor.
Nice scenery. I would like to have seen the meals served on this train.
Next time. The food is amazing we plan to do the trip the other direction sometime soon. Will feature meals then.
wow love it ty for sharing peace the views were great
Did the train arrived late in vancouver?
I just took the Canadian last month but on the eastbound train. I was also in the Cabin for 2 and it was an amazing journey
He line does not go through Moosomin
correct. My mistake.
You have Hudson before Sioux Lookout . They are the other way around. I’m originally from Sioux Lookout
Awesome Video! I just made the same trip but reverse direction from Vancouver to Toronto! Check it out : )
Absurd mask requirement!
That cabin for 2 looks awful. The ancient train has looked bad in all recent videos I've seen of it.
Do you know where can I find the itinerary (the stops) and how long is each stop? I just bought my trip Vancouver to Toronto 🥰🇨🇦
go to the VIA app or website www.viarail.ca/en/plan-your-trip/train-schedules/toronto-winnipeg-jasper-vancouver You are train 2 which leaves on Fridays and Mondays from Pacific Central. If you load the VIA app you can track any train in real time by going to the "train status" tab at the bottom of the screen. and existing train journey will give you an idea of what to expect on yours. Keep in mind the Canadian can run up to 6 hours behind sometimes but it usually makes it back before it gets to the final destination. The schedules are quite fluid. At the rest stops there is usually at least 30 minutes for a leg stretch. Jasper is 2-3 hours. Rest stops are: Kamloops, Jasper; Edmonton; Saskatoon; Melville; Winnipeg (3 hours); Sioux Lookout; Hornepayne; Capreol. enjoy!
OMG the Canadian with only two trains in either direction has faired worse than Amtrak’s Empire Builder or California Zephyr. Now that the Maple Leaf service has been restored to Toronto from New York, I had better ride your great Canadian while I am able before the two trains a week become one.
I was hoping to see a full tour of your cabin, bathroom facilities and dinner car. Guess I’m useful to the professional tours on RUclips by Americans - they show everything. I’m familiar with the Canadian landscape, just wanted to know what the trains are like. 🕊🙏🏻
One major aspect of traveling is the food one eats and it was very disappointing that you left this out!!!!
Took this exact trip in 1981. Wife and 2 kids in a bedroom. Remember everything like it happened yesterday. Trip of a lifetime, and i'm an old geezer now that has travelled around the world but nothing comes close to this.
Talked me out of it
My dream to travel in this train
Do travellers stay green and return the same way…on the train?
Some do but train schedules are so reduced in Canada due to continual government shortsightedness and cutbacks that schedules do not make a return trip by train possible. 2 times a week is hardly a transportation system.
@@Kingshighway1930 .. Mmmm. I suppose sightseeing and travelling to and for vacations never were about being green at all. We do the green stuff at home.
Diesel engines are NOT green. Diesel emissions stink! Electric motors are green. Electric motors have no emissions.
A human chain from a holding area through a busy Union Station onto archaic railroad equipment. Reduced personal service, limited dining choices and accommodations pre-1970. No doubt the price of your travel reflects 21st century CCG (Canadian Communist Gov't) greed and neglect. I took this trip in 1983, the cars are the same just different locomotives. The scenery is of course always beautiful as Canada is truly God's work. Being behind schedule is a benchmark of this train, passenger service outside of the built-up centres in Canada receive secondary priority, always have. It's time for a new route through Elliott Lake to Sault Ste.Marie and onward through parts of northern Manitoba to Saskatoon, Edmonton then up to Yellowknife and Whitehorse before descending through BC. The line should start in Sydney NS, down through Halifax and cross the St. Lawrence to Quebec City, including cities in New Brunswick. With new rolling stock that would be a true Canadian National heritage to be respected.
Thank you for sharing this trip , it’s awesome , we would love to take this trip someday as oppose to driving … We did drove last March took us four days and three night in a hotel. Nice video I enjoyed it…. cheers 🥂
