The Canadian
The Canadian was a transcontinental passenger
train that was operated by the Canadian
Pacific Railway and later by VIA Rail. Passenger trains played
a crucial part in the land
development of the Canadian Prairies. Regular transcontinental
passenger service is no
longer available through Calgary although the CPR has recently
begun expensive tourist
train service from Calgary and through parts of the Rockies. In

slowly moving through a washer in order to provide a clean view
while passing through the
mountains.
