OK have a few days...would like to get some ideas

To cut expenses, I would travel coach. (And not Acela.) Starting from Florida, you can be in Washington DC with a single overnight each way. For a six-day trip (5 overnights) this leaves three more nights. If the idea is just to go cruising by rail, I'd look into a loop trip.

Anything via New Orleans is likely to cost another day in connections.

Connections in Chicago can be good. Washington -- Chicago -- New York or Boston -- Washington. (or the other way around.)

Otherwise, just north from Washington as far as you can get (New York State? Boston?) and back again.

(Sounds like a Mini-Marathon...) Anything interesting here so far?

Silver -> Captiol (CHI) -> Wolverine (Detroit) -> Bus (Windsor) ->Toronto -> Ocean (Halifax) -> Chaluer/Ocean (Montreal) -> Adirondack (New York) -> Silver (Florida)

The Silver Service to CL to Wolverine would be on Amtrak. Then you would need to cross the border between Detroit and Windsor on your own. The next 3-4 trains would be on VIA Rail. Then the Adirondack and Silver Service trains would be back on Amtrak.

Q: Doesn't the Ocean originate in Montreal? So you could either take a corridor train from Windsor to Toronto, and another from Toronto to Montreal. I also think there may be some thru trains all the way from Windsor to Montreal (but I'm not sure about that).

:unsure: I know VIA's routes better than their schedule. I don't know their schedule by heart like AMTK east coast LD trains
