A Trip on VIA Rail's 'Skeena' (From Jasper to Prince Rupert)

The Skeena is VIA Rail’s train that operates on a 2-day journey from Jasper, AB to Prince Rupert, BC

On this trip I only took still photos. If we get a chance to take the Skeena again I will film a video.
​
Since I wanted to include a presentation on the Skeena & have no other footage at this time, this slide presentation will have to do.
​
Hope you enjoy!
