48 Hours - Toronto to Edmonton by rail

After another early morning start we were finally on our way across Canada by train. The scenery was amazing - frozen lakes, snow-covered trees, and rustic wood cabins in the middle of nowhere.

I never thought I would tire of the sight of snow, many hours worth of snow covered trees, we eventually turned to scrabble and card games.

Our first night was a real test of sleeping while seated, half curled up, with legs resting on the seats opposite. Imagine sleeping on a plane, two nights in a row! Oh well, I guess that's what you get for going budget and deciding not to spring for sleeper cars :p
