I notice nothing is said about Toronto. Toronto is the hub of the VIA Rail regardless of the Quebec connection.

Awesome video. I'm a Canadian and in my opinion maintain entirely the Via Rail Canada and Amtrak systems for the eternity.
Keep our US/Canada rail heritage active for the actual and future generations.

Can you post a video set to "Live and Let Die??"

Oh you want an AMTRAK joke do you?? Ok here goes.. A man in Iowa found out he was dying of cancer so he decided to end it all. So he went and stood on the tracks minutes before the scheduled arrival of the California Zephyr and waited for the train to run him over. He starved to death.

I like it, very beautiful. Just a pair of nitpicks. The lack of overnight services does not a short distance train make. The Skeena and Abitibi originally had sleepers, cut due to rescheduling, and to save money. Also, for the Lake Superior, for some reason you're showing the Canadian...unless you wanted to show the Canadian before 1990, when it did run on the route now used by the Lake Superior (the Lake Superior uses RDCs, just like the Malahat). Anyways, nice video, love the music.

I don't believe the Abitibi is an overnight trip nor is the Lake Superior which actually is an RDC service that does NOT run along the shore of it's namesake. The Skeena is a long trip but it overnights in Prince George and is largely all daylight.

The Abitibi, before it was called that - let's just say the Montreal-Chicoutimi service - was an overnight train with sleepers before it was cut to three days a week and re-scheduled into a daytime train. Check an old timetable.
