Hand luggage is limited to 12 X 11 X 6 inches, and may not have wheels for safety reasons. A small backpack is suitable to fit a camera, book, water bottle, wallet, and any medications.

Remember to pack medications, eyeglasses, and any other important items. Also include a sweater or something warm, as it is sometimes cool on the train. Large luggage will be checked through to the completion of the rail journey, meaning you will not have access to your checked luggage while on the train. Carry-on baggage for your overnight on the train should not exceed 21.5 x 15.5 x 9 in. and its weight should not exceed 25 lbs. The train portion will be from Toronto to Jasper National Park.
