I think train is only an option on remote routes, like
Winnipeg-Churchill. On the Canadian (Vancouver-Toronto) that's not an
option. 

For shipping, I've used L Hansen and been very pleased with the service
and rates. www.lhf.com. They use CPR for trans-canada shipping, so your
car could be shipped by train, and from Winnipeg you can take the train
to Vancouver, it just won't be on the same train!

I had a car shipped from Ottawa to Calgary about 5 years ago and I think
the cost was about $700 CDN, I can't recall the exact figure. Should
take about 4-5 days. I used them for another car that was shipped from
West Virginia to Calgary and it was $1500 and 7 days, door to door.
