Spent 2 days and 2 nights on a train. Went from Toronto to the Pacific west coast, arriving in Vancouver after meandering all through the Canadian Rocky Mountains before we finally arrived. I went First Class with a sleeper compartment all to myself and it was probably the best trip I've ever taken. [/c]

@swirlie Sounds like a dream trip. My dream trips are to catch it in Winnipeg and ride it to Vancouver and back ... and again the next year and ride it the other way .... from Winnipeg to Quebec, then Hallifax.

@swirlie Exactly. Not everyone is in a hurry :)
Look at all the people who take cruises, and they mostly just make out and backs, returning to where they started.
Rail transportation has the promised of a social and enjoyment level somewhere between air travel and ship travel, without all the intensity of auto travel or plane travel.
