Snapped this photo back in December 2024 when I took The Canadian all the way to Toronto. Taking this train had been on my bucket list for a while, and it was well worth it.
Lemmy did not like me trying to upload the full resolution photo, so this is a screenshot of the photo instead lol
Yeah, it's sad that rail isn't subsidized like the airlines are; it's hard for them to compete unless it's gross freight.
But it sounds fun. We took a sleeper down there East coast (of the states) from Philly to Orlando once. It was... interesting, and far more expensive than flying. Certainly not luxury of any kind, although it was a more comfortable experience. Not really worth it for a 3 hr flight, but for a longer flight - like cross-country - it starts to look more attractive. But then, you're also starting to compare against first-class airline ticket prices, which make the comfort difference less extreme.
