I took the Via rail train from Toronto to Vancouver, it was hell of a ride that takes a few days over mountains, valleys and prairies.
The train left late, so at night, the driver put his foot down when nobody would notice to make up for lost time.
I saw a grain freight train of about 100 carriages on it’s side after crashing .
The restaurant on board was very good .
I slept on the floor of the observation carriage to save money on a cabin .
The scenery was amazing and you can meet nice people from all walks of life .
