Seeking adventure aboard a Canadian Snow Train

To celebrate our second anniversary this year, we booked a VIA Rail Snow Train traveling cross-country from Toronto to Vancouver…site of this year’s Winter Olympics. We were lured to the rails by watching such great films as The Darjeeling Limited, Trans-Siberian, Polar Express, North by Northwest, and Narrow Margin. (I won’t mention Murder on the Orient Express for obvious reasons…)

I have visions of romantic candlelit dinners in the dining car, views of the spectacular Canadian Rockies from a domed observation car, chatting with traveling companions from all over the world, and enjoying our own sitting room by day that converts to berths at night. Will it offer the same sense of adventure depicted in films? I hope so!
