As long as I can still check it out and more importantly still have access to a dome, I will be fine. I do like to check out the rail fan window though.

I suppose after spending all that money they now need to attract more prestige passengers to pay for it.

It sure looks nice!

If it's only available to prestige customer it does make a skyline much more important.

Thank you for the info Marquis. I guess I will stick to a normal car till I am a senior. Bon voyage champagne sounds great.

Thank you, Tim! I am sure we will enjoy the Canadian.

And I do like the fact there are refurbished non-prestige park cars with "normal" priced bedrooms.

Oh I didn't know that. Thank you for me letting me know. No need to call them again and we will just keep the chateau bedroom D. :-) Yes it will the Canadian and we are all very excited. :-D Do you know if there are still any non-prestige park cars left? Are they all on the Ocean? And the Churchill ...

Thanks again, Tim! I never thought about it but you are right the partition does make a difference. I can see that Manor bedrooms AB, CD, EF and Chateau and non-prestige park car bedrooms CD are all paired up, which means only drawing rooms and bedroom B's in Chateau cars and non-prestige Park cars ...

Thank you, Tim!

The bedroom D in a chateau car just became available so I think I might go with that. Do you know if the bedroom D in a chateau car is the same size as the F in a manor? Either way it faces forward and has bathroom door easily open up to the room.

If i have a choice between bedroom B and E, which one would you pick? B faces forward and has bathroom next to the door and E faces backward and has barroom next to the window. Does either feature make any difference to you? Bathroom next to the door vs window? Facing forward vs backward? Also the m...

Indeed! Beautiful pictures you got there. Bring back memories of my Alaska trip a few years ago. I had the privilege of riding a small segment of ARR between Anchorage and Seward and hope one day to ride the full length to Denali and Fairbanks. I only wish the Alaska rail road routes were more exten...

Thank you for the info. I kind of suspected that was case with unfair government subsidized competition. It's just now Calgary is left without VIA train services. An all VIA operated triangle around Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton would surely attract many locals and tourists alike. Those who were f...

What was reason behind VIA choosing the CN route over the CP route? Many believe the southern route is superior in scenery and serves more people in small communities.

Not that I have issues with either CN or CP, just curious.

Not part of Amtrak or even VIA but the Rocky Mountaineer has an open section near the vestibule. Is that part of the car or an actual part of the vestibule?

My pleasure, Mr Norman. Glad to be of service. As of now it looks your route will not be heavily affected if at all. I wish you a good trip, Amtrak or by other means.
