Crossing Canada Aboard The Canadian Overnight Train -Helen Hayes

Travel Writers Radio

Helen Hayes sets out on a five-day journey by long-distance train—The Canadian—between Vancouver on the west coast and Toronto and then on to Quebec by the new Connector trains. There was a hiccup in her journey, but she enjoyed a comfortable cabin with a wide single bed, excellent meals, and attentive service. She especially loved being lulled to sleep as the train gently swayed to and fro. Photo by Helen Hayes - ever-changing view from your cabin
