Whistler Mountaineer Express

Whenever I see those posters of railway journeys, I always thought I should get one like that some day. And when I got a chance on the Whistler Mountaineer Express from Whistler to Vancouver, I thought I'd take a shot at it!

This train journey is more than a means of transport from point A to B. It is by far one of the most scenic trains, and when I say SCENIC, I mean it. The crew onboard provide information through the mass announcement systems about upcoming scenic spots like waterfalls, gorges, animal sightings, etc, and also go further by slowing down the train so that tourists can get their cameras ready.

There also is one carriage called the ROCKY MOUNTAINEER carriage, which is open ventilated for some fresh air and breathtaking photographs. If you are a train fan, the Whistler Express is gotta be on your list.
