Via Rail Canada

Silver & Blue

The romance of traveling across Canada by Rail is a dream come true. Start this historic journey in Toronto and travel Westbound on Via Rail's "Silver & Blue Service" to Jasper National Park. This is a transcontinental rail adventure to remember aboard the "Canadian." Spend two nights and three days before arriving in Jasper National Park. Once in Jasper we recommend you take time to explore the Canadian Rockies. You then have your choice of returning home from Calgary, Alberta or continuing by rail to Vancouver, British Columbia.

The Silver & Blue class offers high-quality accommodation with the option of a private bedroom or roomette. Everyone has access to the Dome Car, Dining Car (all meals included) and the lounge car. You will experience impeccable service aboard the Canadian in the comfort of refurbished Art Deco rail cars from the 1950s.
