Combining two of Canada’s great rail routes into
one package places the spotlight on some of the
finest scenery in Alberta and BC. The Skeena is
one of VIA Rail’s classic trains – a route that
takes you from Prince Rupert to Jasper
(or reverse direction) along the stunningly beautiful Skeena
valley. The
scenery constantly unfolds as
you journey through Western Canada.
Rail schedules are convenient and allow ample
time to sightsee, explore and take excursions in
Jasper or Prince Rupert. Viewing the
magnificent Rocky Mountains
up close is a thrill for all travellers and
VIA Rail’s transcontinental ‘Canadian’ offers
connecting overnight
service from Jasper to Vancouver. The Triangle Rail Route
is a unique
rail journey that lets you see so
much of Canada’s West – all within a sensible
amount of time.
 The
Skeena leaves Jasper and Prince Rupert three
times per week (on Wednesdays, Fridays and
Sundays). The train stops overnight in Prince
George.
Travel aboard VIA Rail’s famous
‘Skeena’ Totem Deluxe service Prince Rupert
to Prince George, or reverse direction.
This is a two day rail journey with an overnight
stop in Prince George (Note: the overnight
Prince George not included.
