The Rocky Mountaineer on its journey

We went through barren land, mountains, alongside rivers and lakes, through lush fields and saw glaciers and snow. In two days we covered a lot of countryside – all types of countryside.

Inside tunnels – the Rocky Mountaineer

We went through several tunnels. This first one has rock slides above the track to keep rocks from off the track – instead they slide down a slope into the lake. The train was quite long and the tracks quite curvy which gave me many opportunities for taking photos of the train.

The Rocky Mountaineer has a carriage at the back that has two levels – the bottom being the dining car and the top being the viewing deck. It is from here that I took the previous photo and the next few I’ll be sharing with you.

We spent two days on this train viewing amazing scenery. And it looks like I’m train surfing, doesn’t it?
