Rails & Rooms - A Timeless Canadian Journey
is now in stores
All aboard for a ride across Canada!

Join storyteller Dave Preston, as he travels more than 5,000 miles by train and visits the nation's historic stations
and railway hotels.

Dave takes a humorous look at the colourful characters he meets en route, and sits up front with the engineers as they take locomotives through the world's most amazing scenery - and through railway's most notorious tunnels, bridges and mountains. It's the ride of a lifetime!

As well as sleeping onboard the train, he stays at 14 of Canada's most prestigious hotels, including the Chateau Frontenac, Chateau Laurier, The Royal York, Banff Springs, Jasper Park Lodge, Chateau Lake Louise and The Empress...
rooting out ghosts and legends as he goes.
History and geography have never been so much fun.
