The Polar Bear Express will take you to a sparsely populated land of forests, tranquil lakes, and muskeg. You can choose a seat in one of our open coaches for an unobstructed view, or you can choose to ride in a closed coach that's heated in winter. These trips operate entirely in daylight. The first day, one goes from Vancouver to Kamloops, BC on Canadian National tracks, then on the second day from Kamloops to either Jasper on the CN line or to Calgary on Canadian Pacific. One has the option of detraining in Banff instead of Calgary.
Trips also operate in the opposite direction, from Calgary or Jasper to Vancouver.
It also runs a fall foliage special, and runs dinner trains several times a year. Jacobs Railway Step aboard the fifties Streamliner and reminisce about the simpler dreams of yester-year. As your train rolls into the heart of Ontario's scenic Mennonite farm country, you'll reflect on the rustic lifestyle of an even earlier era. At the Homeplace Family Dude Ranch you'll have a chance to ride through cattle country and cross an Indian trail once used by the Stoney band. One of our 35 horses, ranging from mountain quarter horses foaled on the ranch to high performance Polo horses, will be yours to ride and care for during your holidays.
