The Canadian

75 km from Terracana down Highway 16, and the end of the driving: the car goes back at the Jasper railway station itself, which is the neatest possible handover — the platform is the other side of the building.

VIA Rail's Canadian, Jasper to Toronto Union — three nights and most of four days, in a cabin for two with meals included, through the Rockies, across the prairies and around the top of Lake Superior.

Sleeper Plus comes with the dining car, the Skyline dome and the Park car lounge at the back of the train.

Delays are normal rather than exceptional — the line is shared with freight, which has priority — so nothing is planned for the evening of the 11th.
