When I was younger and my parents were paying it was usually by coach but when I started working at 17 and making "money" I always take a sleeper if they are not sold out !!! Even on day trips I try and go "Business Class" on Via or on Amtrak... It's worth every penny :):):)
Sounds like a great trip !!! I wish I could do it to... But I live in Canada and can't cross the border, but I wouldn't right now anyway. :(
Maybe next year hopefully when all of this will be a distant memory...
Looking forward to your next post... :):):)

That's not bad if you don't have a car, or if you take a cab across the border which could be out of the ballpark $$$ , or have to "walk" across the bridge and go through customs (not really ???) dragging your luggage !!! ???
Can you physically walk across the bridge? I can't remember?

Can you tell me where car "532" is that the first sleeper from the crew car?
Do they sell space in the crew car still?
If you care you can see my trip itinerary in "NS VIA FAN'S "...
I just noticed your little history lesson on the "Chaleur" ! Very interesting and informative.
That pretty well connects the dots for my memory ! :):):)
Thank you for posting... !!! :):):)

That's part of my reasoning of catching #49 in NYP instead of...
