SHANGRALA'S

BEAUTIFUL TRAIN RIDES!

      While a plane might get you to your destination faster, nothing quite beats the romance and beauty of a window-side sightseeing experience of a train ride. God gave us such an awesome world full of nature's beauty. Trains give us an amazing opportunity to enjoy it.

      Check Out These Beautiful Scenic Train Rides. Enjoy! :)

      The Rocky Mountaineer From Vancouver to Calgary: This train route is extremely scenic and has increased in popularity over the years. In 1990 the line carried only 10,000 people. Today it carries over 100,000 a year. Taking the train west to Vancouver, you'll happen upon Castle Mountain, the continental divide, Stony Creek Bridge as well as the station at Lake Louise.

      The Bernina Express From St. Mortiz, Switzerland, to Tirano, Italy: This is a much quicker ride than the above first two. The ride will take you about two and a half hours to complete. However, it will seem much longer as the entire time you'll be on a path without any rack rails or cables. Instead, you'll go over 196 beautiful bridges and through 55 timeless tunnels. The carriage also is often open air, so a spring ride is most highly recommended.

The ride will take you about 5 hours to reach Crawford Station.
