If you would like a private cabin (for two people), one way trips start at about $6,000 for a couple, and the nicer cabins are $20,000.

If you want to just have a chair for 4 days (you don't want this), then it's about $1,200 for a couple.

If you use an airline like Lynx, you can find some deals for less than $150 for a couple, after all the charges, and it only takes 5 hours.

Trains are basically not usable for distance travel in Canada in their current state. I wish they were, but they're not.

I tried a train from Ontario to Quebec this year and found exactly that. Flying was slightly more expensive but would have been a better experience on every dimension

Y'all need a high speed line. Literally just one that goes along the southern border through the major cities.
