I'm really thinking of taking my mom to this train journey, but via Cosmos Tours, which includes sleeper plus accommodation, but the shared shower is what's putting me off. I know of course it all depends on the other passengers too, whether they would keep the shared showers clean. My mom is 85, so still thinking about this.

This is where the attendants comes in! They are really nice and if the shower is not up to the standard cleanliness, they ensure it is done. A lot of the passengers are also seniors so it should not be an issue. The 'Prestige' class is also an option as it comes with attached shower, but it is much pricier!

The Canadians purchsced the passenger cars in 1955. Kept them in good running condition now for almost 70 years. These were the same coaches like our old Santa Fe super chief, The Burlington Zepher and most all American trains.in the 50s and 60s. Its a trip back in time riding on them now. Canada also has upgraded there trains at this time. The only thing that woiuld drive me nuts, is sitting backwards in the private seats! Id want to see where im going, not where im coming from.

Wow! Thank you for the information. When we travelled, the cabins looked really well kept for 70 year old cars. There was also a promo video on the cars and I thought they looked a little different. Most probably they have remodeled or updated them.

0:37 , 6459 is the locomotive that appears on the $10CAD bill, pulling the Canadian, it was renumbered from 6403(the number it wears on the bill) to prevent '6403' from gaining a bad history if it were to be in an accident of some kind

Thanks for the nice review. If may I ask, how could you merging two cabins like in 4:38 ? I will book for 2(me and my mom), should I book two cabins for 1 and request connecting room by mail?
@FoggWalker
Жыл бұрын
Hi, we got lucky that both cabins were free. However, when booking, the room layouts can be asked for and booked I believe by calling them. The customer service of Via rail was really nice and helpful.

Hi Brandon. When you put in your trip from and to stations, it should show the ticket types and availability based on the dates selected. However, quite often the sleeper plus tickets are booked way in advance. I did a quick check and found some full priced cabins, and discounted berths available for Oct 2-Oct 6, 2022. But they sell out fast!
