the ONLY way i would recommend taking the train across Canada is with
http://www.flyingunderradar.com/ Charlie Hunter's Roots on the Rails moving music festivals are an experience of a lifetime. I went from
Vancouver to Toronto in the fall of 2006 with the Cowboy Train. A musical journey that could not be beat! there were 75 passengers on our special cars at the end of th eregular train, and 50 of us made music. We had concerts each night and jams each afternoon. plus a
special concert at either end of the trip (on "land")

Charlie also manages train trips on the narrow guage rr in the rocky mts of colorado new mexico and arizona, as well as a musical train trip down into the copper canyon of mexico


this movie is a cult classic...www.festivalexpress.com/
