Advice re Agawa Canyon Tour Train?

[RobertInOntario]

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.

Thanks, David. I phoned the railway today and there is a Quality Inn across the road and several others nearby. Thanks also for your feedback about the route. It sounds very straightforward and will be very scenic. I drove to Winnipeg (through Canada) in 1991 and back and one of the few things I remember from the journey was that it was incredibly scenic. I'll still see how this goes, although Andrew has got me thinking about the steam train in Wakefield, QC now! Thanks again, Rob
