There are two trains from Vancouver to Banff ... Via Rail and the Rocky Mountaineer .. which is more expensive because it's a "tourist" type train. From Banff to the Maritimes it's Via Rail.
Canada does not subsidize passenger rail service like the U.S. does, so it's much more expensive, although it's a lovely trip! I don't know that I would want to go across Canada without having a sleeper and access to showers .... When I priced such accomodations for two recently, it was $2,500 for one way (vancouver to halifax, double berth). Riding coach is cheaper, as is travel if one passenger is over 60.

VIA is the only option for cross-country.
