    what's it like to cross the US/Canada border on Amtrak trains?

    That's funny, because my experience has been the exact opposite. Hooray for polite Canadians.

    How's the Adirondack these days?

    Haha, I totally forgot I posted this. I'm glad it turned into a fun chat thread. Thanks for the info about the Amfleets. Hopefully I get the comfy car...

    How's the Adirondack these days?

    Hey everyone- I'm taking a trip up to Montreal next weekend on the Adirondack, after taking advantage of a ticket deal back in June. The Amtrak Delays site seems to have no discernible pattern of performance for this train, with times ranging from 15 minutes early to 300 minutes late (yikes)...

    Idea to Improve Amtrak Canadian Service

    Taking the Adirondack from NYC to Montreal tomorrow, and I've thought for some time that customs en-route was dumb as hell. I hope this goes through.

    Checking in for the train to Montreal

    I'm glad someone bumped this thread, because I have another question. Is there any way of knowing whether we'll have one of the Park Service guides on our train? Is this just for the months that the Adirondack has the dome car? Trip is tomorrow! I'm really excited.

    Entertainment on Amtrak

    Pretty much any flight of significant distance offers individual video entertainment. I know it's a pipe dream, but I don't see how it's out of line to look for some more distractions on 12-48 hour train ride. And all Greyhound/Bolt Buses have Wi-Fi.

    Cell Phone Headache

    Lots of dog-whistle racism in the comments on this story from the various news sites. Makes me sad.

    Cell Phone Headache

    It's quite easy to use a cell phone on a train in a quiet and respectful manner. If this person didn't have a cell phone, she would have found another way to be obnoxious. Annoying people are always annoying.

    Checking in for the train to Montreal

    Hi all - first time poster, long time lurker. I'll be taking the train from NYP to Montreal in a few days, and someone mentioned that I might have to check in early if I'm crossing the border. Amtrak won't respond to my emails, so I'm fact-checking that here. Do I have to do anything special...
