VIA Rail Cabin Types
VIA Rail – Cabin for Two
A cabin for two is designed for two people. Your private room offers two folding chairs by day for seating as you enjoy the scenery streaming past your window. At night, your room attendant pulls the bed out to prepare your room for a restful evening. The Cabin for Two includes a large window with blind, private toilet with sink and full mirror. Shower facilities are available at the end of the car. Your cabin offers a small storage area for baggage so we advise guests to check the bulk of their luggage during their time on the train. Cabin doors lock from the inside only, and are without individual keys. A 110 VAC outlet, fan, shoe closet, air conditioning, drinking water, paper and towels, shower amenity bag, pillows, sheets and blankets are all included with your private rail accommodations. At night upper and lower bunks replace the chairs. Pillows, sheets and blankets are supplied.
