The Canadian Rockies by Steam
Canada… beautiful land of the Rockies, the Mounties and brave settlers determined to colonise the remotest areas and forge a new life.
From the wide open spaces and deep river valleys to the peaks of the snow capped mountains, much of Canada is even today a true wilderness. Eagle, deer, beaver and bear are common sights. Yet the rugged scenery of the Rockies is only part of the story: despite having one of the lowest population densities in the world, Canada is home to dynamic cities like Vancouver and Calgary – venue for the Calgary Stampede, the world’s biggest rodeo show.
Fortunately, the settlers’ way of travelling is still around too: the remarkable Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR). For the men who built this incredible engineering feat in the 19th Century, the extraordinary scenery it had to penetrate was a huge challenge. For today’s visitors it means that riding the CPR is one of the world’s greatest experiences…and especially when you do it by private train hauled by a magnificently restored steam locomotive.
From its remotest to its busiest parts Canada is a remarkable country. A leisurely rail journey through the Rockies is something you’ll never forget.
