    Yeah, I can understand as I have been car free for over 20 years. At least this route does have a baggage car allowing you to do this. It would be impossible in the Corridor as they don’t take baggage anymore.

    With VIA you can bring a bike and lots of checked baggage with you between Toronto and Vancouver, because they have a baggage car and serve smaller communities that need it. But this is not possible between Windsor and Quebec City.

    I can’t even bring a bike with me from Montreal to Drummondville, even if their new trains have bike racks. And they can’t say when it’s gonna be possible.

    I also sometimes have no choice but to use VIA Rail, and that’s why I’m so critical of them.

    Good luck. Bring snacks and water with you, just in case.
