Description:
The Royal Canadian Express is one of life’s great travel adventures. Few people are able to travel more than 100 years in the space of a few days. Yet, for a privileged few, this journey in time will unfold aboard the Royal Canadian Express. The historical fleet of handsome railway carriages travel across Canada’s most majestic mountain scenery, in a style befitting the rulers and royalty who once travelled in these very same railcars. Travelling through spellbinding scenery in the refurbished, elegant surroundings, this journey of the Golden/Crowsnest Pass ‘Loop’, recreates the experience of the days when the train was king.

The Royal Canadian Express is part of 6 titles in the World Class Trains Series. Each programme contains a complete study of the locomotive and rolling stock and its livery, including a brief resume of each locomotive’s history, accompanied by the breathtaking scenery of the journey. Including scenes on the footplate with the driver, a tour of each train by the guard, through the accommodation and facilities on board and a guided look at the scenery and locations en route.

The programmes are recorded with digital cameras to give a “filmic” feel of glorious colour and picture postcard shots, with Dolby Surround Sound.
