There are three different rail routes departing from Vancouver and each journey offers distinctive experiences out of the city. Before even boarding the train, Rocky Mountaineer tours bound for Whistler, Quesnel and Jasper get to cross the Burrard Inlet over a suspension bridge guarded by two statuesque lions. As a National Historic Site of Canada, the Lions Gate bridge was developed by the Guiness family and is modeled on the mountain peaks of West Vancouver, and is now featured as a symbol of the city. Train travellers bound for Jasper or across the country to Toronto on VIA's overnight train service get to depart from Pacific Central Station. Recognized as a heritage building from 1918, many art deco features add to the stylistic atmosphere. The design also adds fuel to the fire for travellers to re-enact the romance of rail travel. And finally, Rocky Mountaineer passengers bound for the Rockies get to experience a ceremonial departure from the grandeur of the central station headquarters. Being such an early morning departure, coffee is available....and the rest remains a surprise for your adventure!
