Post Count: 5 Msg: #1 3 years ago, February 13th 2006 | Hey fellow road addicts, I am finally embarking on the cross-Canada train trip I've been wanting to take since I was 6 years old! I am planning my stops according to place, but I am so fond of train stations that I'm willing to make an extra stop if it means seeing something truly unique. Can anyone recommend beautiful railroad stations that are a must see? (there are so many listed that I need a place to start!) | [Edited: 17:06 - Sands ] OSH shima Post Count: 1 Msg: #2 3 years ago, March 12th 2006 | Hi, Sands | I see you very fond of train staions , but it very difecult and tired  MacCallumWorldTrek Bill & Sue MacCallum Post Count: 77 Msg: #3 3 years ago, April 20th 2006 | Some of Canada's most historic train stations are now not being used actively, either because the train does not stop there anymore or has been re-routed around the city. Kingston, Ontario is a good example. The current train station is modern and dull but the old one downtown on the waterfront is in a wonderful location and is a good example of the type of train stations common in smaller Canadian cities in the 1800s. Now used as Kingston's main tourist info location. | Canada's two largest cities have big beautiful stations: Montreal's Central Station and Toronto's Union Station. Both are attached to their respective underground cities - miles of underground malls and passageways that are particularly inviting during Canada's long cold winters. If you're looking for stunning settings virtually any station in the interior of British Columbia will fit the bill. Make sure you travel in the glass ceiling train when travelling through the Rockies. If you are looking for historic - mostly you need to look east: Quebec and the Maritime Provinces. Unfortunately I understand that Newfoundland's historic small-gauge trains are no longer used and I don't think there's any train on PEI anymore either. But I do recommend travelling through New Bunswick and Nova Scotia by train. Number of Users: 3 | Number of Posts: 3 | |||||||||||
