Watching the world pass from the observation car

Wonderful views can be enjoyed watching from the observation car as the long train passes through the Rockies. These steel cars were built for the CPR in the early 1950s. I enjoyed the view from these high domes more than from the more contemporary Panorama Car.

The inside too, is much as it was when the cars were new, adding a nostalgic atmosphere to the train journey on The Canadian.
