Amtrak

We LOVED our nice big comfy seats, and the fact that you could get up and walk around at any time. We walked several cars forward to the dining car, and sat there and ate, still watching the scenery through the really big windows.

Yes. That. Plus the views from the sightseer car.

Well...I just checked the Amtrak site. On the East coast, the only Amtrak that goes into Canada is the Maple Leaf, which stops at Toronto from NYC. Not sure where I got my notion that there was a way through Wisconsin as well. Over here on the West coast it's the train from Seattle to Vancouver BC.
