The Canadian Luxury Train In North America | The Canadian Booking Agency

The Canadian is VIA Rail Canada’s flagship train. Linking Toronto and Vancouver, the Canadian is one of the world’s most legendary and popular longhaul journeys. Whether for its breathtaking landscapes, its attentive and courteous service or its outstanding dining, this train has inspired decades of fond memories.
