Replying to The Canadian

Glad you made it with time to spare, even if you missed out on seeing Vancouver.

Maybe you can console yourself with views of Vancouver, Washington on the Coast Starlight tomorrow.

Glad you made it Penny! Bet its warmer even if its damp in Vancouver, actually Vancouver generally is dryer and warmer than Seattle in the Winter, its protected by Vancouver Island!! hope the trip down to SEA goes well and Customs isnt a hassle, the way you are dressed they might think youre a Canadian eh!!

Guess youll be riding "The Ocean" to the Maritimes when you use your discount coupon???

I never got out of the VAC station. I am sitting on the cascades now waiting to depart. They will not sell alcohol until they leave the station.

Yes, I am thinking about a trip on the Ocean next year or another Canadian trip - eastbound.

I was in the dome car, along with everyone else, traveling through the mountains. We were able to see some very nice scenery. I am in Jasper now. Yes, my VAC connection to SEA is at risk, but I was just told by the service manager that i should make it. I sure hope so because I taking the CS at 9:45 the next morning from SEA - i hope.

While not ideal, there is a 5:45 AM Amtrak Thruway Bus to Seattle that gets in 45 minutes before the Coast Starlight's departure.

Of course that means finding a hotel in Vancouver and cancelling the one in Seattle.

We made it in just before 4pm and I am waiting to check in with customs at 4:30.

I might be getting a voucher for 50% of my fare since the train was more than 4 hours late. It looks like I have a VIA trip in my future.

I'm on Canadian about 90 miles west of winnipeg at rivers. There is a freight derailment. Anyone know sanything

We are now in Edmonton 10 hours late.

You mean you're going to pass through some of the best scenery at night?

Do you also have a connection at risk in Vancouver?

Hang in there Penny!

You (and many others) will be happy to know that 6414 finally entered CAD in Montreal on November 21, 2011 and will emerge in the spring in the green Renaissance scheme!.......and completely re-built too......note the HEP compartment constructed on the rear platform in the photo below.

Excellent News!
