I have only seen the pictures of "the train" so far and they remind me a bit of the trip that I took from Ontario to Banff, Alberta decades ago. I had a roomette but spent the bulk of my time in the dome car or the dining car. Everything was lovely and especially the view from the dome car. It's a great way to see the spectacular variety of terrain in this country, and the food was scrumptuous. I still remember the grilled halibut that I had one evening.

Years ago there was a restaurant in Toronto in "Leaside Station"; a train yard. It was an old train's dining car and they served the same menu as was used on the train that I took across Canada. It didn't have the same views as the train but the food was just as good.

Wakefield, Quebec used to have an old steam train that you could ride and dine on. It was much like "the train" in the game. That train also always had entertainment as you dined. Another great memory.

Oh, and when the CN Tower was first built, there was a trainyard at the bottom. I used to love to go up to the top of the tower with my dad and watch the rotation platform turn around the engines. The tracks are all gone from there now and probably from Leaside Station as well, but the memories live on. 🙅
