Wow, thanks for this, it brought back fond memories - I took this train from Vancouver to Montreal back in 1984. I had a single cabin with toilet and sink and a seat that turned into a bunk at night. I had a Walkman I'd borrowed from a friend and a deck of cassettes that included a lot of Pink Floyd, Allman Brothers, Stones, and some classical, and spent many hours with headphones on just watching the scenery roll by. It was a fantastic experience. It's probably changed a bit since then, but I still remember the guy walking the length of the car in the morning ringing a bell and calling "Dernière chance pour le petite dejeuner...last chance for breakfast!"
