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.
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.

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?
