If you're in the Montreal area.....here's an opportunity for a Dome ride.
VIA has added a Skyline Dome to the Jonquiere train from May 18 to June 3 and from June 22 to July 3.

It's a scenic all day ride. Train departs Montreal combined with train to Senneterre and they split at Hervey Jct. Beyond Riviere-a-Pierre you're into a scenic wild area through river valleys and along lakes with camps and cottages where the train provides the only access.stopping just about anywhere.
Then you are out of the woods and into the Jonquiere-Chicoutimi area (pop 150,000) and the Saguenay Fjord.

You can return the next day on VIA or a bus (several each day) will get you to Quebec City in about 3 1/2 hours.
VIA has run Domes on these trains in the past. Here's a 'Park Car' at Hervey Jct. several years ago
