Just a summary of the trip so far:
First, we took the Victoria Clipper to Seattle, then stayed overnight there in a hotel. In the morning, we got on a train named Coast Starlight. We stayed 1 night on that train, then got off in Sacramento. From Sacramento, we got on another train named California Zephyr, on which we stayed 2 nights, then got off in Chicago. From Chicago we took a train named Lake Shore Limited to Buffalo/Depew.
On the Lake Shore Limited, there were toilets and sinks in the rooms, but no public washrooms!!! Luckily for us, we are a family of five so we needed one 2 person room & one 3 person room. In a three person room, the washroom is separated from the main part. In a two person room the toilet just folds up. As a result, I never actually used the toilet in the two person room, I went over to the three.
After that train, we got on one called Maple Leaf. That train took us to Toronto, from which we took yet another train to Montreal. From the Montreal train station, we got a Budget rental car, and drove overnight to Halifax, where I am now, after 1 out of 4 nights here, finishing this post.
So ya.
