re: #199 b_sharp

Now V wants to take a train from SK to NO.

Boring.

I would strongly recommend against that for several reasons, principal among them train service here in the U.S. SUCKS. I used to enjoy riding VIA rail in Canada between Ottawa and Toronto (and occasionally Montreal) but a trip as far as New Orleans would be tricky.

Also, I’ve done some research and it seems that neither Amtrak or VIA offer many cross border destinations outside of Ontario and BC. So you’d have to drive into the U.S. and pick up an Amtrak train from somewhere to get to NO.

The closest Midwest-ish city to where you’re at that I could even find service to New Orleans from was Fargo, ND and for that you’d be looking at at a total travel time of close to 36 hours at a minimum cost of $500/person.
