Ride the Rails

Travel in western Canada could be adventurous, romantic, and fun. All that you need to do is eliminate the train. VIA Rail, Canada’s federal Crown corporation railway system, offers several routes to travelers who wish to see Canada without having to drive through it. 

The Canadian is that the western transcontinental train, a three-day journey from Toronto to Vancouver with stops on the way in Winnipeg, Jasper, and Edmonton, among others. Truly adventurous travelers who wish to plan their very own vacation can even request special stops anywhere between Sudbury Junction and Winnipeg, a service the rail line touts to outdoor enthusiasts. 

The Skeena takes riders for any breathtaking trip down the Canadian Rockies and over to the Pacific, traveling from Jasper to Prince Rupert in British Columbia by having an overnight stop in Prince George. Be warned, though, the Skeena doesn‘t have sleeping cars and passengers got to manage their very own accommodation needs in Prince George. 

The Malahat is really a four and half hour trip up or down Vancouver Island, from Victoria in the south end to Courtenay inside the north central section of the island. Malahat only offers one class of rail travel, the comfort class, however this fare includes the initial privilege of receiving on and from the train as much times as you would like in one end from the line to another. The train departs once daily from each end from the line and, at C$28 is a superb bargain to the budget-minded traveler. 

In 2007 VIA Rail added the winter-only Snow Train Express from Edmonton to Jasper, departing Friday and returning on Sunday—perfect for any weekend ski getaway. Since this can be a new route, and also a seasonal one, check beforehand to discover if the service remains available prior to making your plans.
