I thought the following interesting.

I can understand how keeping track of time, on the train, can be confusing if you aren't aware of time zones especially if you rely on smart phone times when crossing into a new time zone.
I had a problem with cellphone operation on the Coast Starlight from Eugene to Klamath Falls, so I can imagine such problems on the "Canadian".
For photography and a longer stay in Jasper, I think she should have taken the journey during one of the peak summer months. I was in Banff a few years ago, during the last week of May. It was 33 degrees and snowing.
Overall, I think the article was pretty positive. How do VIA trains serve such good food? Maybe Amtrak should ask this question.
I am thinking, one of these summers, of a Vancouver to Edmonton trip. I tried to determine the schedule from the VIA website:

Where is the schedule or timetable? I finally realized you have to click on the "15:00 PT" to get the timetable. This is ridiculous. I think the Amtrak website is much easier to navigate.
