Does the VIA SCA stay the entire trip, TWO-VAC? What would be an average per day gratuity?

Last time I rode they changed to a new crew all over the train at Winnipeg. Tipping should be the same as on Amtrak and I'm sure they would take US money!

Yes, the VIA OBS crews change at Winnipeg, so you'll need to tip twice if you're riding the full length.
Alan,

Take care and take trains!
