New Haven Joe posted:Finally, I had the pleasure of taking the Rocky Mountaineer / Canadian from Vancouver to Toronto. Others have described this trip. I believe that this is the best train trip anywhere on this continent. The refurbished 1950's cars on the Canadian can't be beat. I loved sitting in the domes and watching the scenery and other trains. The food was outstanding on both trains.

My wife and I have considered the Rocky Mountaineer phase of the trip, but the VIA leg through the rest of Canada seems to be non-stop, as far as getting out to see things goes. I've also seen the VIA trains running up to 30+ hours late.
