Default rail travel seattle washington to Calgary

Martin Adelman:
We are thinking of travel to Calgary in July 2008 for the Stampede.
Leaving from Seattle Washington.


There is only one possible way.

Amtrak operates a daily train from Seattle to Vancouver, where you
would have to stop for at least one night. Then Rocky Mountaineer
Railtours operates a train that runs from Vancouver to Kamloops,
stops overnight, and continues to Calgary the next day. This
service runs three times per week. They're in the packaged travel
business and their web site emphasizes all the other things you can
buy along with the train, but it should be possible to just buy the
train ride plus the hotel in Kamloops.
