I am trying to find some good video of #PrinceRupert #BritishColumbia because we are interested in using the #CanadaStrongPass for our family to travel from #Jasper #Alberta to Prince Rupert on #VIArailCanada
There aren't many videos and not many good ones. But, I did come across this interesting one about #CanadaC3

Canada C3 looks like that was awesome I'm disappointed I didn't hear about this back in 2017.

This is above my head but I hope #VIA wins. All I know is that the track from Ottawa to the main line is stupid slow due to CN not doing maintenance on their track and that needs to be fixed (I'm sure there's other issues).
The only option I see here is VIA building their own track.

Which #VIARailCanada corridor trains now run with new #Siemens trainsets? There was a page on viarail.ca listing them, by train number and day of week, but I can no longer find it.

IT'S TRAIN TIME! *TOOT TOOT*
First time on #ViaRailCanada's new train set. Treated myself to a #Kaydo seat.
Looks like #VIARailCanada have finally updated their phone app. Played with it briefly; it shows existing bookings and their e-tickets (`boarding passes') and could probably change or cancel bookings or seats if I wanted to (but I don't for any of my present bookings). Took them a long time, glad it's there.
