nothing beats The Canadian though. this was my 2nd time taking it and it's just such a breathtaking trip, rolling from Ontario's lakes and forests to the prairie and into the Rocky Mountains is just stunning. rural ontario feels like another world compared to back home bsky.app/profile/mmbb...

the observation park car at the rear of our 13 carriage consist at the station in a very snow covered (but surprisingly mild) Sioux Lookout, ON

the two locomotives leading the train and the first 3 carriages seen as we curve tightly around a bend

a delightful road bridge over a frozen waterway with pine forests in the background. the bridge looks a bit truss bridge style but may be a bailey bridge of some sorts

a small clearing of snow covered pines around a small frozen lake

the prairie really reminds me of the countryside out in the Riverina, the Wimmera and the Mallee back home (if it snowed in those places). beautiful expanses of space and gently rolling hills that just invite you to stare off into the distance bsky.app/profile/mmbb...

gently rolling snow covered hills that look almost like scoops of vanilla ice cream giving way to a taller ridge in the distance

some farm equipment and silos on a mostly flat plain in the early morning light before the sun has broken over the horizon fully

frozen shrubs disappearing into the fog in the distance

more gently rolling hills with crops and other vegetating poking through

and the Rockies are just a world of their own. majestic doesn't even really begin to capture it and photos simply cannot ever do it justice bsky.app/profile/mmbb...

a small mostly frozen stream running through dense pine forests with a low, modern bridge passing over it. there are majestic and intimidating snowcapped mountains towering in the distance, almost. blending into the heavy clouds

a large unfrozen body of water in a river, reflecting the snow covered line trees around and part of the towering ridgeline that leads up to the mountains looming above

a small rural road with powerlines running into the distance with huge mountains looming in the background

the front 3 carriages of the train curving around a tight bend, surrounded by snow covered line trees and with a large mountain barely visible through the low cloud in the distance

delighted to report the Canadian Rockies are still one of the most beautiful places on earth. the perfect scenery for my final full day of my transcontinental rail journey
