i work on a tour train actually. haha, what province were you thinking?
my best tips would be
go in late September early october, for best foliage and hiking experience
bring your own snacks and food as the price onboard is extremely pricey
how much are you wanting to spend on a tour?

Trains are way more expensive than planes in Western Canada....if you want to save a buck travel Greyhound bus/coach.....if you can afford it fly, preferably West Jet, as our national airline Air Canada is somewhat less than friendly.

you likely wouldn't want to travel north in the winter....gets a touch cold up there
BTW: Canada is very large, it would take 7+ hours to fly from Vancouver to Halifax...or about 5 days to drive (non-stop).
