Rob: As I understand it, they operate 2 trains a day. One is the single day return to the canyon; the other is a regular one-way trip the length of the line -- 2 day round trip.
We managed to drive from 400 and 89 to the Soo in one day in a motorhome.
-- reserve your tickets ahead, especially if you want anything special. When we went (30 years ago) you couldn't buy tickets the day of the trip. There should be a hotel down where the train boards.
-- buy gas when you see it. There may only be one gas station in town. When tou turn off 69 onto the TransCanada at Sudbury, there's a gas station visible just beyond on 69; there's no gas station west on the TC for ages!
--The route is 400 - 69 - TC (15?). Don't go to Tobermory for the ferry. The only possible alternate is through Michigan.
