As the title says, this is a compendium of video segments taken between 2011 and 2016 of the Royal Canadian Pacific luxury train, which also serves as Canadian Pacific's Business Train. The video is in chronological order and the videos (I hope) improve with time. I lifted a good deal of information from various websites for those that may be interested. Some of it is promotional but is also informative. From The website: http://www.royalcanadianpacific.com/ (edited) Canadian Pacific Railway was instrumental in uniting Canada as a nation, joining east and west coasts with a transcontinental rail line. In the early days of the railway in Canada, Canadian Pacific executives were assigned their own business car in which they would travel in style as they conducted official railway business across the country. As technologies changed the way we travel, these cars fell out of use and for many years sat dormant. In the late 1990’s a number of these vintage cars were fully restored and brought together to become the Royal Canadian Pacific – North America’s most exclusive luxury train. The Royal Canadian Pacific consists of 10 Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) 1920’s era business cars coupled to two 1950’s locomotives all of which have been restored to their original splendor. Period furniture, silver settings, brass accents, walnut paneling and open vestibules are the pinnacle of a bygone tradition of elegance. Subtly add modern amenities the discerning traveler would expect, complimented by gourmet cuisine , fine wines along with unsurpassed hospitality and you are presented with the Royal Canadian Pacific. THE BUSINESS CARS Canadian Pacific’s passenger cars were custom built in Montreal at the CPR Angus Shops. This facility, initiated in 1902 by William Van Horne, then President of Canadian Pacific Railway, allowed CP to build their own rolling stock. The passenger cars that make up the Royal Canadian Pacific are beautifully re-finished and fully restored to their original splendour. The Mount Stephen car, named after CPR’s first president, was originally built as the CPR Director’s day car. This car was also used to host a number of Royalty and dignitaries for Canadian tours. Today, as the tail-end lounge or “observation” car, the Mount Stephen is the hub of activity for Royal Canadian Pacific. The Craigellachie dining car, a refurbished 1931 sleeper, was named for the location of the driving of the last spike of the transcontinental railway. This beautifully finished car seats a maximum of thirty-two guests for meal service, and can be configured as a meeting room for corporate clients. The Strathcona, Van Horne and Royal Wentworth were all business cars built by Canadian Pacific expressly for it’s senior executives in 1926 and 1927. These cars feature a lounge area, a dining area, staterooms and open vestibules. The Banffshire (1926) and the N.R. Crump (1930) sleepers provide Royal Canadian Pacific guests with luxury accommodation in private staterooms. All guest rooms are equipped with modern conveniences including a private three piece en-suite, plush bathrobes, and an in-room safe. http://www.royalcanadianpacific.com/d... These days, the train is available only as a whole-train charter. If this kind of service really interests you, I found only a single site that put this service into a monetary perspective: From the Luxury Train Club website: (edited) https://luxurytrainclub.com/trains/ro...

N.B.The photographer and cameras did not encroach on the line of the right-of-way in taking this video. It is dangerous, foolhardy (and illegal) to enter on railway rights-of-way. Just sayin' ...
