VPG-DVD-121 - TORONTO Toronto is a sensational city. Canada's 'secret' capital: boomtown, show town and financial metropolis, clean, safe and with five million inhabitants. Gigantic skyscrapers and with a frenetic lifestyle, Toronto is where many Canadian banks and multi-national companies have their palatial offices of steel and glass built in what was once a waterfront wilderness. The old City Hall was built in 1899 in Victorian style and consists mainly of sandstone. Its Venetian clock tower faces an array of modern skyscrapers and almost opposite is the futuristic looking new City Hall, a symbol of the city's cosmopolitan flair. It's easy to become disorientated in Toronto's Underground City. Most of this subterranean complex extends beneath the financial district and is the largest of its type in the world with countless shops, restaurants and subway stations. An endless network of corridors and passages connects these vast shopping centres and offices to the Central Business District. Since 1975 the city has possessed a unique monument, the Canadian National Tower or, the C.N.Tower. At a speed of six metres a second four external elevators zoom to the top of the building and it takes only fifty-eight seconds to reach the Skypod platform. The massive Skydome stadium is home to the Blue Jays baseball team. The huge pitch contains a hundred and six rolls of light green turf and is illuminated by more than seven hundred two thousand watt spotlights. The building is multi-functional and has a movable dome that can be opened and closed as necessary depending upon the weather. Niagara Falls, although extremely touristy, is an unforgettable experience. For the adventurous there are bridges and platforms close to the raging waters and the roar of the mighty torrent can be heard from a great distance while the awe-inspiring view of the waterfalls make it easy to forget the surrounding hustle and bustle of fellow sightseers. The Indian meeting place of bygone times has been transformed into a huge city that is a true gem among Canada's other great cities. Toronto is without a doubt the most multicultural city in the world!

The OCEAN Halifax To Toronto On Canada's FamousTHE OCEAN The Ocean is a legendary train that travels through Canada from Halifax to Toronto, the first destination being Quebec. The interior of La Cathedrale Notre Dame is dominated by a host of beautiful paintings and gilded works of art. Narrow alleyways cut through the world famous city some of which have stood here for more than 400 hundred years. The Musée Du Fort features scenes of the city's dramatic history and numerous battles for Quebec. A steep railway, the Funiculaire, travels down onto the riverbank and to the small and enchanting Quartier Petit Champlaine. After a short journey the train reaches Montreal, the island city located on the St. Laurence River, a pulsating metropolis that enjoys a French way of life and towering American architecture. A horse drawn carriage known as a 'caleche' is a relaxing way to take in the sights. In recent years the huge harbour of Vieux Port has been renovated on a grand scale and is now a popular meeting place and entertainment complex. Next stop, Toronto, a city of art and culture, thus art galleries, museums and theatres play an important part in the life of this exciting metropolis while in contrast within the bright subterranean complex of its 'Underground City' it's possible to shop 'twenty-four seven'! The romantic trip across eastern Canada reaches its conclusion with a final view across the tranquil bay of Lake Ontario. The journey on the Ocean has united the past with the future, Canada's endless landscapes and frenetic commercial centres making a bold statement in a land dominated by breathtaking Nature.

OTT-DVD-113 - On Tour... THE CANADIAN Toronto To Vancouver RailridingTHE CANADIAN A very special train journey begins Toronto and travels a distance of 4500 kilometres to Vancouver. The three day journey promises discovery, adventure and momentous Nature as well as lively modern cities and time-honoured traditions. In Toronto, the CN Tower is the highest freestanding building in the world and provides a thrilling view across the city. When the weather's good it's possible to see as far as 120 km. to the distant haze of Niagara Falls. The Skydome is located next to the CN Tower and is a multifunctional sports arena with enormous proportions that has an extendable dome under which many types of sports events and concerts take place. The main route of the Canadian Pacific Railroad that travels through western Canada dates back to1885 although the comforts offered by the famous train, The Canadian, are far from dated as for additional comfort there's the Bullet Lounge, the Mural Lounge and the Art Deco Bar. The landscape opens up and in the autumn light dense forests and dark blue lakes create an enchanting scene with a wonderful variety of colours that range from ochre-yellow and dark red, to purple. Passing endless cargo trains we head to Winnipeg, the 'City of Trees' that lies at the mouth of both the Red River and the Assiniboine River. Containing over two million trees this former settlement is now Canada's fourth largest city. The high peaks of the Rocky Mountains come into view, the former domain of gold-diggers, hunters and pioneers, where the city of Jasper is the starting point of many interesting excursions in the mountain area. The shining blue Moraine Lake is situated in the Valley Of The Ten Peaks, while the Chateau Lake Louis is one of the oldest and most beautiful railway hotels in the Rocky Mountains. Finally, Vancouver, and it's far from easy to say farewell to the most inspiring and famous railway journey in the world -- The Canadian!
