I took the "4 day" Toronto to Vancouver train around Christmas time 2019. It was eventful, they had a bad batch of wheel bearings, which got us stuck at Sudbury ON for a day. But despite that, it was a fun, low stress experience. Especially compared to air travel. I look forward to the day that I could take the Vancouver to Toronto train. Side note, I did take the Stockholm to Malmo to Copenhagen night train, and I took the Bergen to Oslo night train. If there's even a bed, I would not hesitate doing that again on another vacation. If you're going to sleep in a hotel, you might as well be moving.
