Nothing beats the romance, relaxation and sheer luxury of a Canadian train tour. Our excellent train vacations in Canada offer a wide range of independent train vacations from 2 to 22 days with the famous VIA Rail and Rocky Mountaineer trains.
If you’d like to take a train trip across Canada, the first thing you’ll need to do is purchase a VIA Rail Canada Pass. The Pass works in a similar way to Interrail, first you choose the number of days you want to be traveling (15, 30, 60…) and once you have decided, you can choose the pass to take unlimited trains in that period of time. You can buy your VIA Rail Pass from any major city in Canada and plan train routes through the Rockies, Vancoucer, Quebec and the great route that we come to talk about today which is none other than “The Great western way”. This train route is an incredible experience that will take you from Toronto to Vancouver crossing the whole country. Best of all, VIA Rail offers a wide range of berths and dormitories so you can rest easy at night and make the most of the next day.

But what would happen if you could mix a car ride on board a train? It may sound illogical, but this is what Jeff Friesen has achieved, thanks to his imagination and his great photography technique, he presents us with a series of photographs aboard a retro toy train, yes, a mind-blowing experience.
Jeff is a prestigious photographer who has worked for publications such as American Photo, Popular Photography, Photo District News, Canadian Geographic and National Geographic Adventure, as well as Wired, The Huffington Post, Mashable, Buzzfeed and many more. He has also participated in a large number of contests and has won several awards.
A few weeks ago he presented a photographic project that took months to complete, which is called “Ghost Train Crossing Canada”, where he undertook a train ride across Canada, the funny thing is that this time Jeff was carrying the train and not the other way around.
It is 30 fantastic photos where Jeff perfectly placed a miniature version of the classic train ‘The Canadian’ of 1955, a train just 5 centimeters high on a track only two centimeters wide. Jeff’s idea was to portray the wonderful Canadian landscapes as if the train was actually traveling through them, achieving fantastic sceneries, taken from the imagination and that are simply impossible in reality.
