PICTURES: Flight Centre Agents get a first look at Rocky Mountaineer's new railcars

What do Rocky Mountaineer's newest GoldLeaf railcars look like? You can redirect that question to one of 11 Flight Centre, Infinity & APT Agents who were given a sneak peek at the fleet during Global Gathering.

What do Rocky Mountaineer’s newest GoldLeaf railcars look like? You can redirect that question to one of 11 Flight Centre, Infinity & APT Agents who were given a sneak peek at the fleet during Global Gathering.

The group of Flight Centre, Infinity Holidays and APT employees took time out from partying at the annual conference in Berlin earlier this month to check out Rocky Mountaineer’s custom-made railcars at a Reinickendorf-based manufacturing facility.

Consultants, product managers and senior leaders were selected for the early preview based on the number of Rocky Mountaineer sales they’d made in the lead up to Global.

During their behind-the-scene tour, they were able to see and appreciate 10 new bi-level glass domed carriages first-hand.

Rocky Mountaineer’s Managing Director, Sales, Asia Pacific, said it was “a delight” to show off the new carriages to such as “worthy group of brand advocates”.

“These custom-designed, custom-built railcars really are at the cutting edge of technology and will add capacity to meet the growing demand for taking Rocky Mountaineer through the Canadian Rockies.”

Rocky Mountaineer is currently revitalizing its entire fleet of GoldLeaf and SilverLeaf railcars, the largest capital investment in Rocky Mountaineer’s 28 year history. The first four of the total of 10 new carriages will join the fleet at the start of the 2019 season.
