Have trip planned leaving from Louisiana to catch the Crescent in Meridian, MS on the way to see a bit of New York City. Yesterday we also added a one way 10 day cruise from NYC around Nova Scotia to cruise departure at Quebec City. Instead of flying back to NYC, my wife and I would like to take the train for the view. I assume I would book VIA RAIL to the US/Canada border then Amtrak from that point to NYC so we can catch 19 Crescent back home. It would appear going through Montreal is obvious route but wondering about alternate route to see more countryside. Ship docks at Quebec City on a Thursday morning and train leaves NYC Penn station 2:15 Saturday to give a time frame.
