Which direction to travel in in Across Canada by train
Pacific Central Station in Vancouver, British Columbia; the starting point for an eastbound trans-Canadian train trip
It is recommend that you should decide whether to start your trip in the west (Vancouver) or in the east Halifax (Nova Scotia). Check the timetables of the trains you'll be riding on to see how this affects the arrival times in towns and cities you want to stop off in. Otherwise the decision is largely yours, although many travellers express a preference in going from east to west, since this follows the direction that European settlers populated the country and rewards you after the seemingly endless prairies with the breathtaking Rocky Mountains.
Additional side trips by train to other destinations are possible at various points along the trans-continental route. See the Rail travel in Canada page for more information on these other routes.
