Not the same for driving across. Driving you only deal with the agent on duty and cannot go to Canadian or US customs before crossing. There is a sign posted up on the booths (at least in BC) that says "if carrying greater than $10,000 in currency across the border you must declare it"
Also, taking the train, you declare when you are going to board the train at customs and you declare again when border guards do their walk through at the crossing.
