You can drive to NYC and take the Adirondack to Montreal or the Maple Leaf to Toronto. These are both daily trains.

- krull10 3y agoWhy drive to NYC? If one is in DC you can just take the train, especially if then shifting to a train from NYC to Montréal…
- haldujai 3y agoI didn't know these existed. I was looking at them and they seem sold out for the next week. Why would one normally take this route (13 hours and $178 while a flight is 2 hours and $213), scenery?
- cmrx64 3y agoI’m someone who often takes trains when I can, over planes. The scenery is sometimes nice, but in the NE corridor it’s largely just backyards and tree-lined alleys through industrial areas. More pleasantly, I don’t need to interact with TSA, I don’t get the weird derealization that comes to me in airports, I don’t get dehydrated or pressure headache, the seats are larger/comfortable, the internet is faster/cheaper, and finally, the carbon emissions are fewer per passenger-mile. edit: and when I’m restless the train has much more space for light exercise or walking.
