You may have already been on a great rail journey, there are numerous opportunities in Europe like the four hour journey on the fabulously British Orient Express or the flying Scotsman, probably the world’s most prestigious trains that have been noted down in the great book of toff nosed British history. However these glorious trains have been put to shame by the Canadians expansive railways and the introduction of the world’s most facilitated train named the Rocky Mountaineer.
The ten day “golden leaf” journey aboard the rocky mountaineer creeps alongside some of most dramatic backdrops the earth has to offer, it’s elongated route passes by the many thousand acre blankets of emerald green alpine forests, the glistening sapphire fresh water lakes and the monstrous staggered mountains that marvel the surrounding horizons of the rocky mountain region, it’s fairly honest to say that plodding alongside the cattle fatigued, graffiti smothered railways of England cannot quite compete with scenic greatest the Canadian railways have to offer.
The Mountaineer is renowned a masterpiece in the railway industry due to the trains spacious and well facilitated carriages, severing performance and most of all its excellent design, however all this credit cannot be taken solely by the “titanic of the tracks” itself as the overall experience wouldn’t be fully complete without the warm and friendly staff who in all scheme of things turn that good experience into a unforgettable one.
The wide birthed carriages are comprised of an upper and lower deck which are accessible by multiple staircases at each end of the lavish carriages. The upper deck (observation deck) is made entirely out of clear glass and ceramic so missing a breathtaking view or that perfect photo opportunity won’t be problem.
The passengers tend to spend the majority of their time appreciating the outstanding views from the upper deck whilst being waited on by the informative and friendly staff. Fine dined meals are served at several intervals throughout the day in the dining facilities on the lower decks. Luxury trains have been noted for the culinary excellent since they we’re firstly introduced in the 1800’s; this factor is still noted in luxury trains today especially in the lavish confinements of the rocky mountaineer which boasts an onboard kitchen which is run by a flock of expert chiefs.
Presented tours and information about the train’s surroundings are voiced when the journey reaches certain landmarks or scenically beautiful milestones; also many activities are hosted in the front carriages for passengers to enjoy.
The rocky mountaineer is fundamentally a luxurious hotel on tracks that gives its passengers the fascinating opportunity to see Canada’s great diversity and above all the chance to witness scenically heart stopping backdrops and wildlife that Canada is proudly famous for.
