    I did a Rocky Mountaineer Rail tour back in the summer of 2002. It was from Vancouver to Jasper. My travel companions and I went with the Silver leaf package. Back then,even that was spectacular. The vegetarian food served at our seats was delicious. We may not have had dome car views, but the views of the gorgeous scenery, especially the copper sulfate colored lakes, will stay with me for the rest of my life.

    Thank you for acknowledging the contributions of Chinese labourers in constructing the railroad. After its construction, the Chinese were treated very poorly and were discouraged from settling via a head tax and then eventually banned completely via an Exclusionary Act in the 1920s. It wasn't repealed until after WWII.

I was happy that I got to stay at Chateau Lake Louise, which was my mom's favorite place in the world. The hotel was kind enough to upgrade the room when I told them my mom's story. I also earned the Rocky Mountaineer's Order of the Salmon which they only give to one person per car on the trip.

I'm a 'train-a-holic' have traveled over 250,000 km by train since 1955 mostly here in Canada (51x on "The Canadian") an entire month of May 1987 in Australia ("Indian-Pacific","The Queenslander" & other long-distance trains) & 2 weeks in June 1990 in UK when British Rail still existed.

    We did this reverse route last year at about the same time. I'm envious of your cooler weather and Fall foliage. There was a heat wave and the Fall colors were not so vibrant. That being said, the Rocky Mountaineer was amazing. We also booked the Gold Leaf and were not disappointed. After the two days on the train, we continued with 6 touring days in Jasper and Banff and flew home from Calgary. It was a wonderful trip to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. The Canadian hospitality was amazing and the food... Chef's kiss! We want to go back and spend more time in the Jasper area.

      you can fly to boston in 2 hours and then ride the NEC train or Accella from there. 🙂 Or I guess go north on trains to Brunswick and then go back. 😃

Those things are for short hops, they can only go 150 miles at 200 mph (battery powered), but maybe you could do more than one hop to get to a place that had a direct flight where you're going :)

Should be noted though that Jeb is the CEO and owner of one of the world's most successful sales training companies, so $2,250 for him is a lot more...expendable...than it is to you, me, and Mr. McGee. That money is a once-a-year vacation, or even once-a-decade vacation, to most people, but to him it's an impromptu trip. It's pretty awesome though seeing someone spend lots of money on amazing trips like this rather than on penthouse-suite stays and yacht sailing around NY Harbor like so often featured by well, the wealthy elite.

I would definitely recommend travelling from Vancouver as it leaves behind the built up busy city and heads out into the beautiful country and into the mountains.

    Great video. The reason you switched to CN tracks at Kamloops is because CP and CN operate a one way system. All westbound trains use CN tracks and all eastbound use the CP tracks. East of Kamloops CN and CP split. With CN going via the Yellowhead Pass and CP via the Eagle Pass in the Monashee mountains, Rogers Pass in the Selkirk mountains and Kicking Horse Pass in the Rocky Mountains.

Some deals can be made through a travel agent, plus booking early for a deeper discount (a year in advance). You can add extra days before/after your train ride, via RM train or self-booking or Travel Agent. I recommend extra days in Calgary, Banff and Vancouver (2, 2 and 2 days each).

All the people seem VERY HAPPY! Before I die I DO want to try this. As the world evolves into chaos it seems the RM is a way to separate yourself from the turmoil that is overtaking our planet.

    Between Kamloops and Mussion/Abottsford (east of Vancouver) , there was an agreement signed a few decades ago to use each railway's single track in one direction. The effective double tracking of the stretch increased each railway's capacity (so both railways benefited from sharing) compared to each railways stuck to their single track with few sidings due to the steep Fraser/Thompson river canyons for most of the stretch.
    So you are using CN track from Kamloops not because it is more scenic, but because it is the designated westbound track. At Cisco Crossing they did build a CN to CP (northbound) or CP to CN (southbound) interchange track. This helps in cases where one side is washed out and still allows a few trains per day to travel.

    On Houseboat lake: This area of Shuswap Lake was hard hit by forest fires and massive evacuations all summer, so seeing no houseboats is understandable as the whole season was a total writeoff (and for many, litterally). The province's emergency orders prohibited tourism in region because all available hotel rooms were needed to hosue evacuues. The CPKC tracks were closed for a number of days due to risk of fire.
    EDIT: Ok, you mentioned the fires later on on video.

    There is a train in Mexico called Tren InterOceanico that goes from the Gulf Coast to the Pacific coast of Mexico. You guys should do an episode on this one. Mexico is full of culture, ancient sights and ruins and amazing food and people!!

      I have traveled on the El Chepe Train from Chihuahua to Los Mochis. Simply the most spectacular train journey I have been on. Even saw snow fall in Creel. Creel to Los Mochis is simply spectacular scenery.

    What an amazing video! Thank you so much. Like many fellow Canadians had already mentioned in the comment, thank you for mentioning some of the important history such as First Nation, Chinese workers who contributed in the creation of the railway. So happy you and Suzanne had a great time! It's on my wishlist to do this trip, despite we've drove through the path a few times.

    Thank you for this. In my past I was a tour bus driver through this same area before the Rocky Mountaineer began. Watching this, seeing the scenery and thinking back to the commentary I shared with so many from around the world, it was like a love letter to a part of Canada I love so much.

    The spiral tunnels are fascinating. The Amtrak route across the Oregon Cascades has several tunnels and one of them is a spiral (180-degree) tunnel. All by itself it can be disorienting west (north)-bound when you go from heading west on fairly flat ground to heading east on the side of a mountain looking down into a canyon. Can't imagine what several of these in a row would do to my head 😵...Great Video adding another entry to my Bucket List....
    ...and YES to the houseboat!!!! 🛥🛥🛥 I vote for several days on a houseboat on Shasta Lake in NorCal. Who's with me?

I have always thought God blessed CANADA with so much beauty. It is incredible that man build those long rails, tunnels and bridges, and yes thanks to them we can enjoy the journey. When the world is in turmoil; just watch the Brooks videos pure joy and so delightful ♥

      I rode RM train a year earlier. Gold Leaf service. Yes, it can be a bit pricey, but it is Frist Class/5 Stars service. Some deals can be made through a travel agent, plus booking early for a deeper discount (a year in advance). You can add extra days before/after your train ride, via RM train or self-booking or Travel Agent. I recommend extra days in Calgary, Banff and Vancouver (2, 2 and 2 days each).

    Amazing content and really makes me want to go on an adventure like that. One question - HOW did you achieve the POV shots from "above" or "the top of the train" itself? As a famous content creator, did they have a special observation are filming area they allowed you to use? The footage really adds something wonderful to the viewing experience.

    • @GreenerGrass

      The first day we had windows facing forward since we were in the first row. And other footage we probably took from the observation platform, nothing special for filming. Thanks for watching!
