I store my folding bike in my truck. If I drive somewhere, I would have to pump up the tires but it is ready to roll other than that. My truck has that much storage space that is typically unused, which I recognize is not normal.

I considered taking my folder on Amtrak (the passenger train system in USA) for a bike tour because it met their criteria for a carry on item. Bought a folding rack for it (Racktime Foldit), etc. But in the end I flew to my destination on that trip and brought my S&S coupled bike instead. I have no idea what the Canadian trains have for folding bike policies, so this might not work for you if you wanted to try that.
