One of the prettiest train rides in Canada is along the north shore of the Bay de Chaleur.  On this Easter weekend, VIA was coming to the end of its use of the "blue" cars that it got from Canadian National.  My wife and I had a drawing room going out to Gaspe much to the sadness of the crew who thought it was unbooked.  On the way back, we had two roomettes whose sanitary systems were obviously life-expired.  Still it was a memorable trip.  The little town of Gaspe is always a pleasure to spend a few hours or days in.
