Yo,
I am killing time to get my body use to working nights.
I was on the Via 150 thing. Pretty much went coast to coast on the train here in Canada.
Ask me anything you want. I will answer till I go to bed.
did you do vancouver-halifax?
ether of the northern routes, winnipeg-churchill and jasper-prince rupert?
between toronto-winnipeg was there anything you got off for?
think I might fly east from vancouver and ride it back

wat.
just start working nights, you'll get used to it. both my wife and i spent time working nights (nurse and medic, respectively). it's not that bad. it's your days off that suck-the first day's always a complete waste.
I worked two years as a night receptionist in a hotel and it fucking killed me. It's not healthy at all, mate.
Anyway I'm a morning person, so it might be different for you. Nowadays I do night shifts every once in a while and it's not that bad, but working nights always... never again.

Exactly. If you only have two days off in a row you're fucked. It feels just like one day.

i could see how that would be shitty, just fucking sitting there under fluorescent lights waiting for anyone to come in. damn that must've dragged. we got to keep busy and moving around, so even 12-14 hour shifts went by pretty quickly.

What part did you skip? (Probably Montreal-Halifax.)
I'm planning on taking the train from Ontario to Jasper Alberta. Did you do the trip in economy class or did you get a sleeper? I'm thinking of splurging and spending the extra to get my own sleeper.
How was the food? Are beers expensive? Is the onboard wifi reliable? Did you feel the trip was worth it, scenery good?
