Going Places: VIA celebrates Jasper's centennial

(CNW) Canada's Jasper National Park, part of the Canadian Rocky Mountains Park UNESCO World Heritage Site, is celebrating its 100th anniversary and VIA Rail is going along for the ride.

In recognition of this milestone, VIA's flagship Canadian will be dubbed "The Centennial Train" for two departures on Sept. 13 and 16.

Customers travelling on these two trains will have an opportunity to be a part of the centennial festivities. Beginning with VIA's westbound train No. 1 from Edmonton to Jasper on Sept. 13 and ending with eastbound train No. 2 on Sept. 16 from Jasper to Edmonton, travellers will have an opportunity to learn more about Canada's fifth National Park from a Parks Canada representative.
