9 Things to Know Before Going on an Overnight Train Trip Through Canada

You shan't be bored on board. Although there is no WiFi and very limited cell service (you are training through the middle of the wilderness!), there is plenty to keep you busy. Pack a book or download episodes of your favorite shows for some quiet downtime where you can gaze out your sleeper cabin window at the gloriousness. Communal train cars with coffee, tea, and fruit are the perfect place to meet fellow train travelers and chat or play some classic games like cards or Scattergories. Live entertainment is often brought on board, too; musicians and magicians have been known to perform.
