Calgary - Getting There By Rail
Rail services: VIA Rail's transcontinental trains arrive at Edmonton from western cities, such as Vancouver (journey time - 23 hours) and Kamloops (journey time - 13 hours 25 minutes). Services originating in Toronto (journey time - 47 hours 10 minutes) pass through Winnipeg (journey time - 15 hours 15 minutes) and Saskatoon (journey time - 5 hours 35 minutes) on the journey west. The Rocky Mountaineer service is aimed at tourists, with the journey from Vancouver broken by an overnight stop in Kamloops, so that the entire rail journey through the scenic Rockies is in daylight. The thrice-weekly service runs from mid April to mid October.
Transport to the city: Edmonton is connected to Calgary by Highway 2 and frequent coach services are available (see Getting There By Road).
