How long does it take to travel by train from Vancouver to Toronto?

Yes, am asking because thats where my 1er is being shipped from.

Thanks,

check out via.ca...thats the train company

according to that, it'll take you almost 3 days!! Why do you want to come to Toronto for the car anyways?

I thought they used CN or CPR as Via is just passenger rail???

Anyway, from Halifax to Vancouver it can be 2+ weeks... Halifax to Toronto I've seen as long as 2 weeks but mostly a little less, and to Calgary, I'm hoping to be in the 2 week range... Going back the other direction, I guess it could be less congested and perhaps faster, my unhelpful guess would be 7 days, maybe nearing on 2 weeks.

There are usually more trains going to Toronto than to Vancouver so it may be as short as 5 days.

My car docked at port in Halifax on July 15th and I still havent received any call from my CA that my car is anywhere close to the dealer. I live in toronto. So I'm guessing its about 2-3 weeks to toronto by rail from Halifax.

At that rate, I would say the time from a port in BC to Toronto should take about 1.5 months given the speed at which they go from Halifax to Toronto.

But, it sounds like it's a car at a dealership that's being shipped.

My boss got an IS-F out of Toronto and it only took 5 days to get to Vancouver.

Yeah, that's correct warmtoes ... the car is arriving from a dealership in BC to Toronto.
