Still didn't sleep much but it seemed like a quieter ride. Part of that might be that our berth was in the middle of the coach rather than at the front like on the VIA rail train with the wheels almost under us.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-81724102767053928162016-11-28T17:32:16.491-05:002016-11-28T17:32:16.491-05:00Hope you have a fun train trip!Hope you have a fun train trip!Chuck and Anneke's RV travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01929384797592263167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-83680287452094402992016-11-28T17:30:09.205-05:002016-11-28T17:30:09.205-05:00Sounds like Ruth enjoyed a very happy birthday and...Sounds like Ruth enjoyed a very happy birthday and a good dinner to boot. I've done a couple of overnight train trips and i have to say it's different. I did sleep but not too soundly. One train involved being awakened in the middle of the night for a Customs passport check. It only took a few minutes but was a little disconcerting. Another train overnight was on the luxurious Orient Express and that was pure pleasure! Enjoy!mps2343https://www.blogger.com/profile/06059253597064329074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-88653712273523417782016-11-28T15:53:21.788-05:002016-11-28T15:53:21.788-05:00Happy, happy birthday Ruth.

Their schedule doesn't sound too dissimilar from VIA's. Almost 24 hours to get from Montreal to Halifax?
