Have you travelled on this train before?
If not, be forewarned: you might as well take the schedule and throw it out the window, because you will not be arriving on-time anywhere along the route. This train stops and waits for every freight train between Toronto and Vancouver, of which there are many, and delays of many hours, even days, are the rule, not the exception. Mechanical problems are an everyday occurrence, the coaches were built when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. Read some online reviews.
Nothing like sitting on some siding in Saskatchewan without moving for five hours.We were there so long we finished off every drop of beer in the bar car. Great fun! Made lots of friends!
This ain't European train travel my friend. You have been warned
