Toronto-Jasper-Vancouver train (the Canadian)

The Canadian is one of VIA Rail's proudest services. It travels between Toronto and Vancouver, crossing the picturesque lakelands of northern Ontario, the western plains and the splendid Rockies, finishing its journey on the Pacific coast. Other stops include Sudbury Junction, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Edmonton, Jasper and Kamloops.

The complete journey takes three days: leaving Toronto on Tuesday morning, you arrive in Winnipeg on Wednesday afternoon, Jasper on Thursday afternoon and Vancouver on Friday morning.

Between Sudbury Junction and Winnipeg, you can get off anywhere you want, even where there is no scheduled stop! How? Simply by requesting a special stop! This service is specially designed for outdoor enthusiasts who wish to get off in the midst of the forest.

The front of the Park car also houses three double bedrooms and one triple bedroom.
