Replying to My First Trip Board the Canadian

Excellent!, Thanks for Posting! Really nice to be Young and Able to Travel all Over on the Rails! We Appreciate You Sharing Your Adventures, and Of Course, are Envious! Keep on Keeping on!

Hello from Toronto where I am decompressing after an excellent, fun social journey (with about 4 VIA font office employees on board with their Children since Quebec schools are on Spring Break), arriving from Vancouver with a 48 hour layover in Jasper (wonderful time there two skiing and going on the canyon tour). We arrived early at 8:45 this morning after a nice full breakfast. Overall I have been traveling for over a month mostly in California getting every San Joaquin and Surfliner Station in the state (with just one more day I would have had the capital corridor). None of that is done yet either, that is my big project when I get back to New York in a few days.

I do keep a blog so I this post will be brief, and here are my links to some of my postings about the three long-haul Amtrak trips I took (sorry if it sounds like shameless advertising but I thought those on this forum might be interested):

• Aboard the Canadain for an excellent 4 days
• An Epic 7 hour Adventure by Bus and Train to Vancouver because of mudslide, a Stalled Truck on the Tracks (that bottomed out), and Stuck Waiting for a Freight Train to go Through US Customs Due to a Shift Change
• A Snowy Coast Starlight Ride North from San Jose

Enjoy!
