Eastern Canada is renowned for its fall foliage. September and October bring a breathtaking transformation across Ontario, Quebec, and the Maritimes, as maple forests erupt in shades of red, amber, and gold — a fall rail journey through the Eastern Townships or along the Ocean route is one of the most spectacular ways to see it.

Major stops on an Eastern Canada rail trip sit close together, making it easy to add extensions along the way.

Niagara Falls is not on the main VIA Rail line, but makes an excellent day trip, and can be reached on a two-hour train trip from Toronto. Just 15 miles north, Niagara-on-the-Lake swaps the hustle and bustle at the falls for Victorian-era charm and w**e country. Further along, the Eastern Townships offer a detour from Montreal into rolling countryside, covered bridges, and lakeside villages.

Rocky Mountaineer and VIA Rail are two very different ways to see the Canadian Rockies.

Rocky Mountaineer is known for its opulent setting and gourmet dining; VIA Rail for its vintage sleeper cars and unhurried overnight travel.

Both are worth experiencing for their glass-dome observation cars, outstanding onboard staff and relaxing journey; and even better when combined into one circle tour. 🚂
