I have to tell you…. Covid nurse here. Your videos popped up on my feed a few years ago. Your peaceful music and gentle voices actually have helped this PTSD affected nurse recover. Someday we’ll train across our country or Canada. Thanks for the healing moments.

Wow. We came to Toronto from NYC in August for West Indian Caribana. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Canadian Vibe!!! It's So Clean & the natives are lovely. My son & daughter fell in love & ready to move😂 We're thinking about taking this trip to LA, just to tour the country side relaxed. We've never had any interest of visiting the west coast, but watching this changed our minds. Surprised the trains were so empty, especially during the holidays.💘🗽🏙Brooklyn Love from our Familelele🇺🇸🇯🇲🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇹🇹🇮🇳🇵🇦🇨🇦🇬🇧💙❤🖤💛💚❤

As a Canadian I would like to impress upon you just how lucky you are to have seen the peak of Mount Robson. It is on average visible only 12 days per year. I have been thru Mount Robson park a handful of times and still have not seen the summit. Cheers.

I still have my Rubik's that I received on my 14th birthday. I'll be 54 next year and still haven't solved it. True story.

I love these longer trip videos. I put them on when I'm scrapbooking and just need some rest time after a busy day. I find them so incredibly soothing.

Thanks for taking us along on your trip. Canada is truly beautiful....and clean. The food looked good too.

Can you do a video about how you deal with life essentials like laundry, shopping for essentials, what you do between trips (train to cruise, etc).

I took almost this exact same trip with my family 60 years ago when I was 12 .Long before antrak. White tablecloths real silverware. Our family of 5 went coach on the entire trip but we still ate in the dining cars. No microwave food. It is one of my favorite memories from when I was young. How much was the trip on the Canadien? I'm thinking of a bucket list trip to retrace that trip in 1964. I really enjoy your videos. Keep them coming please.

As an American, I was licking my chops when they broke out the prime rib, and all the other meals on VIA! Secretary Pete, we can do better on Amtrak and VIA is a good example of how to do it, eh!

Good morning Allie and Rob. My husband and I took the Empire Builder #27 from Havre to Seattle via Portland. We were lucky enough to be assigned an accessible room going to Portland. Returning to Havre from Seattle we took the #8 train. We were in a roomette for this leg of our journey. Our choice of rooms is the bedroom for more room. When we arrived back in Havre, we had a dead battery and we were locked out of the car as it is an electrical access. The Amtrak agent was quite helpful and her boyfriend was able to assist us with entry at $0.00. Now that is service. Awesome Amtrak!

In 1992 I did the opposite. I went from Vancouver-Toronto via Amtrak. Down to Seattle, Empire Builder,Lakeshore LTD to Albany, Maple Leaf to Toronto. I also did the reverse but via Denver (they had the "Pioneer" back then that went to Portland & Seattle). In fact in Portland there was also tha Coast Starlight northbound which we followed & the Portland branch of Empire Builder ready to leave. I have been on "The Canadian" 51x since 1964. Yes I'm a "train-a-holic".

Your train trip in the winter looks a whole lot different than it does in the summer. That is a beautiful trip to take across Canada. I watched the Jeb Brooks Channel as they went across Canada on rail. They were in first class it's nice to see the difference between business class and first class. But in the summer it was beautiful green and of course the days.

I love traveling like this with you guys! You explain everything, and show evrything...it's just so much fun! And great traveling music, too! Hope you had awesome holidays!

My sister and I took our 88 year old dad on the Toronto Vancouver route twice in a few years. I wish I could do it again. It is a much more elegant experience than Amtrak sleepers. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. So now I can only afford Amtrak because of my points. But I do enjoy train travel and there are some very wonderful staff members on Amtrak. I will continue to explore USA via train as long as I can. I enjoy your videos.

How funny is it that the day has come when we watch other people take their holidays.. and they get paid for our watching them! How the world turns!

dam was just going to go to bed.....lol Happy New Year from Townsville Australia...

Thank you both for this lovely video. Always was curious of the trip from NYC to LA. Thank you for this viral journey.

So cool 💛

The attendant who turned the seats around went out of his way to make your trip better. He deserves a good tip at the end of the ride. I don't usually tip Business class attendants, but this attendant made your trip a lot better. The vast majority of Amtrak attendants put a lot of effort into great service.

I agree. I took my (3) young kids on a short trip from Seattle to Portland years ago, and our car attendant played games with and performed magic tricks for my kids. Sweet man.

I don’t know how YT algorithms put you onto my feed but I’m so glad it did and I subscribed. Might be me following Orlando’s new high speed rail to Miami. Anyway, you guys are such a breath of fresh air. I can feel my stress melting away watching your travels. Thank you so much.

I've wanted to go to Canada but thanks to your video, I feel like I've been there. I just found your site yesterday while trying to gather information about Amtrak and was so impressed. You two are such a lovely couple, so informative and always polite. Thanks so much for the great tour. Hope your cruise was wonderful.

Hope one day I'll be able to do this train ride when I visit the u.s with my friends. Keep up the good work with the videos. Love from Trinidad 🇹🇹 blessings 👍🏾👍🏾💯

Your documenting was awesome! I really was impressed by the train stations across Canada! They don't build things like that with such pride these days!

I remember starting my railroad career working in Sleeping cars like that on Amtrak back in the 80's. You two are doing one of my bucket list trips. Have funn and be safe!

So sorry you missed the great views of the Hudson River on the NYC to Albany stretch. One year we were traveling on the 4th and saw families having picnics all along the way in the many parks.

This kind of trip is on the big travel list I've been making. Next year, I'm headed back down to San Antonio by Amtrak for the second time. I'm super excited to do this again as I really enjoyed the first trip

Which train to San Antonio, please? I want to visit an old friend there, and I am collecting travel info bits,

My cousin and I plan to do a Canada rail trip when I retire in 2025. This is giving me all sorts of ideas since she's on the east coast and I'm on the west. Our family came from Canada. Such possibilities ❤

Nice music added to your tour, Great video 🌴🌺

Wow! Incredible

😂 Nice VIDEO, 😮 As a young man I flew to Toronto from England , I caught the shuttle bus to Toronto bus station then I planned to catch the train to Montreal, so I exited the bus station and asked a waiting taxi to take me to the train station ( I asked him what the fare would be, I'm not stupid 😂 he said $ 5 which seemed reasonable ) so he drove round to the other side of the bus station building which was the train station!!! Welcome to Canada!!!❤😂🍁🐸😃 I could have walked through the bus station to the train station!!!!!******,

That was so much fun!! I actually got cold watching this! LOL.

Beautiful train travels l remember canadian railways when l took it Edmonton and l took amtrak to Canada to transfer.the food on amtrak is delicious. Beautiful views of canadian rockies and scenery on usa side too.😊happy travels

I love your videos. They are of the highest quality and incredibly relaxing.

I love listening to you both. You showcase train trips, scenery and amenities amazingly. Keep travelling. Thankyou from Australia

Wow, that certainly is the long way!

What a great trip! Thank you for that.

What a fantastic video. You got me excited for a Canadian trip. It looks absolutely gorgeous to travel through Canada. I bet it would look pretty in the fall, too. Nice job!

Very ASMR! I love train travel, so relaxing and I enjoy scenic routes. Happy New Year!

I love ❤ this program. Allie, The way you present this program is wonderful 👊

Great video - thanks for taking us with you every step of the way!

I loved this vlog. Sat and watched the whole thing

❤good trip 🎉. thank you very much

You two are lovely. Enjoyed your commentary, tour of the train, and excellent views from the train! Enjoyed you showing the menus and selected dishes. A trip I have always wanted to take, so thank you. Some day😊.

Way better quality video than the last Via Rail trip to Van you guys did. Thank you.

Thank you, what a great video. I really enjoyed watching your journey from New York City to LA through Canada!

Simply amazing scenery. Well done guys!

What a fun trip. Really enjoyed the video.

You were very lucky to travel this winter because last year at the same time the temperature was -40

Loved every minute of this, thanks for sharing 😊

This is a bucket list trip. Thanks for sharing!

I am so glad you are back. I love the trains

Thank you for filming this beautiful sceneries. I enjoyed it and how it is traveling in the business class section. I'm glad made it safely to LA. Good video 👍

I saw your video for the first time today and it was very good . And the way you speak touched my heart .

You guys did a really nice job with this!!!!! The Music was very healing for this Ex-Marine!!!!!

articulate and organized. well done.

Fantastic video. Also, I’ve got to say I love the music that you added to this…particularly around the 26:45 mark. I’m on a 4hr train ride back to Prague as I’m watching this.

Can't solve a Rubik's cube. Go Red Wings!!! That is so true!! Food onboard Via Rail looked really good!! Stinks about flooding but you made it work

I love your video, the scenery is so beautiful.

As a Proud Canadian, this video gets my stamp of approval.....

Back in the 60s and 70s I did a number of CP and maybe CN trips before VIA. The berths, roomettes and bedrooms make me suspect the cars are the same.

Great video. I loved seeing the differences in each of the trains. I have not done VIA rail yet but it is definitely on my list.

Glad to see that you do not tail gate like I do when driving. You two have a wonderful new year.

First time watching your video come across it was excellent great experience enjoy watching it my whole family live in Canada I live in the states. Look forward to watch more of your videos. Great work.

Happy New Year to you all. Keep traveling.

I’ve never commented on your videos although I’ve watched quite a few. Just wanted to tell you they are well edited and I have enjoyed them. I also want to say how wonderful you two are paired together… they is love there. 😊

Welcome to Winnipeg! 🎉🎉 it was exciting to see my city on your channel.

I had lower berth last time I was on The Canadian, great space for putting your stuff when the beds are made up on the lower part, not much space left on side when it is made up and the privacy curtain does wonders for keeping out the light, once asleep you don't really hear anyone walking past.

lol 😂 and I’m near the end and I haven’t had enough. Nice presentation 👍

Very well made, captivating watch. 😊

Hi, I am in luv with your channel!! I’ve always luved riding on trains. This video was AWESOME!!😍🙏🏾🐾 🚆

I enjoyed the trip! Thank you

That must have been an exhausting drive for you at the end! Phew! I feel for you!

Great video. Feel as though I have been on vacation. See you in LA.

Love this channel, I felt as if I were right there on this trip, glad you guys made it to the cruise. The view thru the CANADIAN Rockies were just INCREDIBLE, Thank You.

Wonderful video. The miles/kilometers surely added up but the breaks for commentary and 'feeling' for the personal experiences shined through. 1st time watching one of your travel adventures. Great job.

I love when yall do these vlog style videos! Makes me feel like I took the trip with you! Looked like an amazing trip with amazing views!

Hello both. Great trip. A few years ago, I went from Toronto to Jasper. Really enjoyed it. Remember Sioux Lookout and the long stop there while the locomotive got re-fuelled, never seen that before, gret experience.

great vid. the food looks great and very plentiful😋

Thank you for sharing your video Journey I'm enjoying it. I hope someday I get to experience a train ride across Canada and United States.

Business class is very wise.💯

I am presently on my 1st cross country trip leaving WAS to CHI to LAngeles. I have watched quite a few of your videos in preparation for this trip and would like to thank you so much for your instructions and advice. I am an airline employee who will retire in a few months and will be frequently making these trips in conjunction with airline flights so your info is so helpful. Thank you and I hope to cross paths with you guys.

We took the train from Seattle to Portand around 2010 and it had a car that they turned into a movie theater. They played a kids' movie, and since my family were the only ones in there, they got to run around a bit, talk, and get their wiggles out while watching the movie. Our car attendant also came to our room and played games with, and did magic tricks for my kids. The scheduling of the train was a nightmare (cancellations for us too), but the service was excellent. Nice people working for them.

Wow! This is almost the exact same itinerary that my wife and I will be doing this coming June. We are taking business class on the Maple Leaf and then spend a day in Toronto. One difference is that we will be in a Prestige Room on the Canadian all the way to Vancouver. But when we get to Vancouver, we take a seven night cruise to Alaska (round trip). We are then taking the Amtrak throughway bus down to Seattle and jumping on the Coast Starlight in a bedroom down to Southern California. Hope our Coast Starlight won't have any issues like yours did. After seeing your video, it's just making us look forward to it even more, thanks!

Prestige Class is definitely a great way to travel on The Canadian, you get priority boarding and depending on the time of year, for a big chunk of the day, the park car is only for Prestige Passengers, Sleeping Class do have access but limited, also Economy has no access to the last half of the train beyond the dining car.

I enjoy videos like this me as a resident of NY will never take that type of a trip so got my chips ready and leeets gooooooooooooooo

I thoroughly enjoyed this video! The train ride through the Canadian Rockies was awesome! New subscriber here!

Thank you guys for posting this video as it reminded me of my trip in Canada back in Winter 2018/2019. I took the Amtrak from Penn station NYC to Montreal, travelled to a few cities of eastern Canada via rail before hopping on the VIA from Toronto to Vancouver. I stayed in a sleeper cabin for 1, and I found it very comfortable. At Winnipeg station, we were notified that a freight train has derailed, so we had to pack up, travelled 5 hours to Melville station to swap over with the passengers on the eastbound train which would turn back to Vancouver. We were delayed for a few hours but the crew was very professional and reassured us all the way. It was an amazing experience overall and I highly recommend it. The service and food were excellent and the staff were very friendly! The only thing I didn't realise was the VIA Canadian, being built over 50 years ago, didn't have WiFi, and I had no roaming as well. Nonetheless, it was a great way to detox from mobile phones and social media! The Amtrak from NYC to Montreal I took also surprised me as to how spacious the seats were. I didn't have to get off for border checks, the officers came onto the train to check us off. It was an 11 hour ride but was very scenic! Being from Australia, I was fascinated with the snow!

Love these Canadian Trains Interior. they look to me has a slight Art Deco Decor & the interior ceiling edge lighting looks marvelous.

Planning Amtrak trip soon. Your videos are just right succinct, to the point not a lot of talking, information is helpful

Looks like you were almost the only ones on the train!!

Knew you were a hockey fan sir! Well done definitely, one day i wanna do the Canadian train trip! Glad y'all had fun & safely got our journey without much issue!

First time viewing your content. It's very nice to see a cute couple taking time to see the beauty of USA and Canada. I have just subscribed and liked and will be watching for more. The cross country trip was especially exciting.

We explored some of Toronto back in the early 2000’s. CN tower was so scary to me. But we enjoyed some drinks and snacks in the rotating restaurant at the top! Hubby is from Hamilton, Ont.

Great video, so sorry about the cancellation!

what a lovely couple you 2 are James

Happy New Year to everyone. I hate to admit this, but I love traveling on Amtrak so much, I wish they had a family room large enough to be an actual apartment I could travel on for 15 days.
