Hi all. Been a while since cross-countrying via Amtrak and planning a rail trip.
I didn't realize it would be quite so challenging to get to Montreal (Quebec City actually) from the west coast!
Since the demise of the International from Chicago to Toronto what are the options for getting from Chicago to MTR/Quebec City? Here is what I've found so far:
1. LSL to Adirondack requiring an overnight in Albany, NY. I believe this also will require another overnight in MTR as we miss the last train to Quebec City.
2. Wolverine to Detroit which (after transferring from a western train) gets us in at midnight. Apparently there is a commuter type bus from Detroit to Windsor, Ont. Can't find details if it runs this late however. (BTW, Windsor ONT is in the Amtrak system but I can't find any service that will take you there.)
Overnight in Windsor and early morning VIA train to Toronto, on to Montreal and *maybe* connect to Quebec City all in the same day.
So my main question is has anyone done this trip? Chicago to Montreal via Detroit? Other ideas?
Thanks!
Rob
