The Train - VIA Rail Canada

This has been an essential part of our travel across Canada along the East Coast and through the Prairies. The longest journey: Toronto to Winnipeg was 34 hours and we lost count after 19 carriages. Surprisingly it was very easy travel, although luckily we didn't have to hang outside all they way.... it sometimes took a while to get comfortable to sleep it was better than a plane!!
The trains all have Dome Cars which give you an excellent view of the surrounding countryside. Gotta love the guy behind Craig!!
The hardest journey so far was probably Winnipeg to Saskatoon as the train was meant to get in at 1.05am but actually arrived about 2:30am. We also had what can only be decribed as Train Geeks on our carriage who must have been on some kind of train tour but they really had no grasp on normal human behaviour!!
