Travel over trestles and through tunnels on your two-kilometre winding journey through the Stanley Park forest.
Appreciate nature from a relaxing seat on a replica of Canadian Pacific Railway Engine #374, famous for pulling Canada's first transcontinental passenger train into Vancouver in the late 1880s.
The train was built in 1964 after Typhoon Frieda blew down a clearing of fallen trees in the Stanley Park forest. It is one of Vancouver's most popular attractions, welcoming over 200,000 visitors per year.
