If you wish to go the fastest way in the US, it will take about 3 days and 4 hours. You would take the Lake Shore Limited to Chicago, switch to the Empire Builder in Chicago and go to Seattle, and finally, take the Amtrak Thruway Bus Service (operated by Cantrail) to Vancouver. Alternatively, you can go through Canada by taking the Maple Leaf to Toronto and switching to VIA Service take The Canadian from Toronto to Vancouver. That will take you 3 days and 5 hours. The Canadian only leaves Toronto on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday and returns from Vancouver on Tuesday, Friday and Sunday. All other trains and buses in this answer operate daily.
