Thanks for the info. Just of curiosity, what happened to the old CN equipment? Didn't the Supercontinental have vista domes, too? I'm really glad to hear VIA's running such a fine train. I live in Maine so probably will begin the journey somewhere in Quebec. Thinking about a stopover in Banff, then on to Vancouver. It does make one a little sad that the U.S. doesn't have a train up to those standards anymore. I've been on dozens of Amtrak trips in my life, many of them enjoyable, but I have to say that there's just a depressing mediocrity that runs through the organization. There was a palpable sense of pride on something like the RGZ, the Southern Crescent, the Adirondack, that doesn't exist on Amtrak. I realize a lot of it has to do with the fact that Amtrak is run on a shoestring. What's the situation with VIA? Do they operate in the black? I imagine Canadians might be more supportive of their trains, and they seem to have fewer of the long-distance trains that bleed Amtrak dry.
