Yes they will. I have one
http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Speedway/2049/LegoJPG/VIA/VIA.html
which predates Mikes (I think). It is just possible to put a small table (1x2
riser, 2x3 table) in between the 2 minifigs. If they are centered, it would
work better than offset (the seats).

That depends. "The Canadian" was roughly as follows:
2 Engines-Crew Car/baggage-3 coaches-dome with diner-2 manor
(sleepers)-Beavertail
(depends on when...it can get a lot bigger than that, and it does change
dependant on season. During the summer, there would be a dome car without
diner, and a separate diner car-that's how it was when I went X canada in 96
(with a separate diner). Before that, in 94-5, the normal Novemer trains in
Ontario had the combined diner/dome)- the 2nd engine was used, IIRC, from
Vancouver-Jasper, and then from Winnipeg-(presumeably) Capreal (outside
Sudbury, Ont)
As for 2nd motor, I have 3 in my long passenger train. 2 are at the front, one
is supposed to be rear of train. Where, depends on club cars (you cannot put a
motor under the 32L drop center cars). The VIA train has 2, both under the
FP7A (and both now DCC).
