  • To me, those passenger cars look like the ones that were used in the movie Silver Streak, but painted blue and gold after the movie was filmed.

  • well parts of the movie was shot in canada, and those types of cars were with cp at time later

    transfered to via rail

  • What a sweet looking train! Those Budd cars are classy. Interesting that the engineer did not blow the horn for the grade crossing. Was this in a "Quiet Zone" like what we have here in the U.S?

  • yeah i think we have those too

  • this is the usual consist for the peak season on the canadian

  • 20 vaggons? this is ussually

  • Such a fabulous train!

  • It's rather amazing that VIA can keep those old Budd cars going and looking so great. But I have to wonder how much longer they can keep it up. Amtrak made the right choice when they bought the Superliners, Amfleet's and Viewliners.

  • great video!

    didn't know we have the same cars down here in buenos aires (check for "el marplatense")

    greetings from the other side of america

  • Railway is the term used in countries which use Commonwealth English terms. Canada uses railway as does UK, Australia and so on. The word railroad is chiefly American.

  • Great video! I never get tired of watching The Canadian, or riding on it :) Is it usual to have three locomotives for a 20 car consist? I have seen three, but only through the Rockies. Back in the day, when we had both The Canadian and Super Continental, CP would add a locomotive in Banff for the journey through the mountains. I don't know what Via does now that there is only the one route through Jasper. Does the terrain through that part of Ontario warrant the extra unit?

  • hell the whole train is really

  • It is amazing that VIA's long distance coaches are well maintained.

  • In Canada, crossbucks with words are being replaced with white crossbucks with red borders and no wording to avoid the bilingual signage and conform with international standards (Britian, Europe, Australia, etc.)

  • Thank you CP.
