You will find yourself taking joy in a good cup of tea. Or maybe you will finally have time to find out what it means to look out the window and daydream. Train travel in Canada has strong historic routes with the first cross country train completing in 1885, allowing western colonies to officially become a part of Canada. All rail trips in Canada have reminders of this cherished heritage and national pride. Trains now have all the conveniences of modern day, however, the mood and feelings it evokes are often similar to those 100 years ago. Quality, space and convenience are still of major importance, very few compromises have been is this area when comparing train travel to more modern transportation types. Just think about other forms of transportation that allow you to sit (with leg room) facing your travel partners while enjoying a freshly cooked meal and spending an evening simply enjoying each others company.

Rail travel is comfortable, relaxing and convenient. Train stations are always conveniently located in the centre of town. Rail cars in Canada have room to put your feet up and get a good night's sleep. They also give you freedom to choose a variety of activities and situations to interact with fellow passengers.

You will be thoroughly impressed by endless wilderness and openness. Where else can one have the comforts of traveling in a fully developed country where the last glimpse of civilization is four hours away? Perhaps you have always wanted to see the Rockies or often fantasized about retracing the routes of Canada's first pioneers. Rail travel allows you to see these lands up close and personal. Simply look out your window and gaze at the unique beauty of Canada.
