2757. not enough, 2020 is the 30th anniversary of Rocky Mountaineer.
Of particular note is the Spiral Tunnels. Built over the Kicking Horse River, the sheer height of the canyon meant that a gradual descent was not possible. The first attempted train journey plunged in the canyon.
In 1909, the original path was abandoned and the Spiral Tunnels were opened and are still used today.
Then there’s the spectacular Cisco crossing near Lytton in British Columbia, made up of two bridges over the Fraser river, each built by a different railway company.
As of today, for travel in 2020 Rocky Mountaineer have extended their Early Booking Peak 3 promotion, where you can receive added value worth up to £500 per couple! You’ll also be in a great location to add on a city break in Vancouver or an Alaska cruise.
