    Via Rail is offering a chance to win FREE cross-Canada train tickets

    Canadian train company Via Rail is putting on a special offer that could take you from coast to coast and back.

    It's a special opportunity to win an equally special ticket made of of upcycled wrought steel from a retired train truck that has travelled over 6 million kilometres across Canada. 

    In case you're wondering, that represents more than 1,000 trips across Canada in the last 40 years!

    Want in on this epic contest? Hop onto the VIA site before June 10 and enter.
