Well, to start with, due to COVID, you'll have to stay in your Car and Seat, while Wearing a Mask for the Whole Trip except when eating and drinking( 5 Days/4Nights) while underway( you can get off @ Designated Stops with Jasper and Winnipeg, where you'll get a New Crew, being Long Stops.

Expect lots of delays due to Freight traffic, you will be Late into Toronto!

The Dome Car is off Limits, as is the Diner, food and drink will be served to you by a Cart.( you have to Pay for it in Coach.

Usually the Attendants are friendly and helpful on the Canadian ( don't forget to top for good service).

You used to get a Pillow and Blanket issued @ Night in Coach, not sure if that's still True??

Hope you got a Good Fare ( the Canadian is Pricey in Season)and your trip goes great!

Please share a Trip Report with us, most of us Love that Train!!
