Enjoy the journey and the destination with four of the world’s longest train routes.
The Canadian: Toronto to Vancouver, Canada
Travelling across three-quarters of the world’s second-largest country, The Canadian is an epic journey that sets out from Toronto’s Union Station. The train crosses amazing scenery as it passes through the Prairies and the Rocky Mountains before it hits the coast and Vancouver. The ride is further enhanced by sleeper cars and the chance of seeing moose, deer and even bears from the windows.
Indian Pacific: Sydney to Perth, Australia
Spanning the entire continent of Australia, the Indian Pacific explores the vast wilderness of our sunburnt country. The sheer distance is most apparent as it crosses the Nullarbor and travels the longest stretch of straight railway track in the world, when passengers will not see a bend for 478km. The route includes stops in Broken Hill, Adelaide, Port Augusta and Kalgoorlie.
California Zephyr: Emeryville (San Francisco) to Chicago, USA
Taking a little more than two days, one of the longest train journeys in the United States traverses the range of landscapes America has to offer. From the beaches in California, the journey passes by the Colorado River, the Rockies and the Sierra Nevada range as it makes steam through eight states to America’s third largest city, Chicago.
The TransSiberian: Moscow to Vladivostok, Russia
The grand-daddy of them all, the legendary Trans-Siberian rail journey spans seven timezones and takes six days as it departs from Moscow on its journey to the far eastern Russian port city of Vladivostok. The scenery includes the Ural Mountains and Lake Baikal, the largest freshwater lake in the world. Popular alternatives to the route include the Trans-Mongolian to Beijing and even an option from Moscow to Pyongyang in North Korea.
