Chasing the setting sun into Edmonton, Alberta, VIA Rail Canada's flagship train "The Canadian" paces alongside a pair of venerable EMD SD40-2s at CN's Walker Yard. What year is it again?

With a Caesar in one hand and camera in the other, I'm sitting in the dome car aboard VIA Rail's "Canadian" as we pace alongside a Canadian Pacific potash train on the banks of the Thompson River near Savona, British Columbia.

Even under the cover of darkness, the journey through British Columbia's Thompson River canyon aboard VIA Rail's "Canadian" is an awe-inspiring one as the train traverses countless curves, bridges, and tunnels. Here, Vancouver-bound train no. 1 is seen knocking down a clear signal as it glides through the night near Ashcroft, BC. It is now well into the wee hours of the evening, I am the last one in the dome car and I have not a care in the world.
