Oh what I’d do to have a nice and efficient train from Montreal to Vancouver. I’d take it instead of the plane for sure!

Unfortunately the fastest passenger train currently available on the planet would still take roughly 6 hours to get from Montreal to Vancouver in basically a straight line so probably double or even triple that for a more realistic number with all the corners and ups and downs. We probably won't be making the fastest train on earth so it would likely still be a 20+ ride from Montreal to Vancouver in the best case scenario.

It would be a very comfortable ride though. It's already more comforable than airplanes, and I was stuck behind freight trains most of the way.
