Hi-
I'd like to take my parents on a train vacation in a scenic area of Canada. All I've found about trips like this includes overnighting at hotels, not on trains. Can you direct me to a company that provides tours that are totally on the train, day and night?
Thanks.

I'll second that. Their website has a huge section on it, and most train stations have information packages.
