Vancouver by train


Vancouver by train

Taking the train to Vancouver is unlikely to be the cheapest option, but it is a scenic one. Rail options include:
  • VIA Rail has the Canadian which runs from Toronto to Vancouver with three weekly departures.
  • The Rocky Mountaineer operates routes between Vancouver and Banff, Calgary and Jasper three times a week from April to October.
  • Amtrak runs a service between Seattle and Vancouver called Amtrak Cascades . Trains depart Seattle daily at 7:40AM and 6:40PM, arriving in Vancouver at 11:35AM and 10:45PM respectively. The return trips leave Vancouver at 6:40AM and 5:45PM.
  • All trains arrive at Pacific Central Station, located at 1150 Station Street (east of downtown off Main St). From there, it is a short taxi ride into the central business area, or you can pick up the SkyTrain at the Main St/Science World station two blocks away. If you have the time and money, traveling to Vancouver by train can be an excellent way to see the Canadian Rockies. This is discussed further at the Rocky Mountaineer.
