The Canadian – VIA Train From Toronto to Vancouver – The Best Railway Journey In The World!

In this 100th Video from Classic Car ChitChat we will take a look at some Classic Train Cars as we take a slight detour from looking at cars this week and instead celebrate Canada as we journey on The Canadian as we travel from Toronto to Vancouver. This has been a lifelong dream of mine and to celebrate a special birthday and my 100th video on this channel what better way than this to celebrate both milestones!

The Canadian is a VIA train that offers some of the most stunning views of the Canadian landscape, from the towering Rocky Mountains to the lush greenery of the Pacific Coast. The train offers unparalleled luxury and comfort, with spacious seating, gourmet dining, and a range of amenities that make the journey a true pleasure. The journey from Toronto to Vancouver aboard the VIA Train the Canadian is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will leave you with memories that will last a lifetime. As we pass through each province the scenary changes and we see some of the most breathtaking landscapes in Canada, including the Canadian Shield, the Prairies, and the Coastal Mountains.

The train also allows you to meet and make new friends and socialize with other travelers from around the world, making for a truly unforgettable experience. This truly is an iconic Canadian experience and riding the VIA Train the Canadian is a quintessential Canadian experience that every Canadian and traveler to Canada should experience at least once in their life.

In case you are keeping Track this is Video # 100 of Classic Car ChitChat Videos!

I hope my Classic Car ChitChat videos make you smile. I do them in my spare time because I truly love cars and my intentions are simply to honour the beautiful cars I get to see and to really understand the passion and love of the vehicle by the driver (or caretaker as Jay Leno would say) of the car. I also understand too that my videos perhaps lack the polish calibre of great YouTubers like: Doug DeMuro, Scotty Kilmer, and of course my favourite Supercar Blondie. I also know that I can’t even come close the quality & finish you get from the likes of Jeremy Clarkson and the boys at Top Gear. I think they use a little fancier equipment than my little iPhone… LOL

Mission Statement:
My Objective through creating these videos is to shine the spotlight on people who love their vehicles whether it be a car, motorcycle, or even a bicycle…. Bottom line is if it has wheels and you love it then let’s show that passion to the world!

Equipment Used:
Camera
- Just an iPhone SE (Nothing fancy – which proves anyone can use whatever you have handy to make a video… you don’t need really expensive equipment)
- I also use Insta 360X2 which is perhaps one of the best investments I have made and allows me to capture some really cool 360 degree views and also creates a “drone like” effect with the invisible selfie stick attachment.

Gimbal – DJI OM4 - For that ultra-smooth cinematic look. (To be honest... still not quite sure how to use it but one day I will figure it out!)

Audio – Rode Wireless GO II (I gotta be honest… this is really the biggest investment that was made… I wish there was a cheaper option but after the first couple of videos I soon realized that audio quality is important and hopefully better than the onboard mic on the iPhone!
