The train from Toronto to Quebec City is awesome, or stop at Montreal.

But by far the best is the western route. Via runs from Edmonton to Vancouver, a great experience and less I think that the Rocky Mountaineer. I've done the train from Toronto to the west coast a bunch of times, and from Toronto to Montreal about 10 times, sometimes on to Quebec City.

Many consider this the greatest train experience, I remember going through tunnels and seeing the engine emerge way below us before we got in...very cool.

There used to be an Amtrack train every day from Chicago to Toronto, I think they stopped it last year. Too long at the border going into the US.
