Rail staff were really helpful however on the first train trip from Montreal to Sackville whoever strapped our tandem in place tightened on front saddle and slightly bent one of the rails. That was the only damage our Mocha co-pilot has ever suffered from baggage handlers.
We had great weather for the train trip and spent a fair bit of time in the upper deck of the viewing carriage watching the scenery.
I'm really keen to do the Cabot Trail. I'd like to do it as part of a ride around the whole of Nova Scotia.
If you go I'd love to hear of your experience
