Toronto - Getting There By Rail
Rail services: VIA Rail operates services between Toronto and a number of national destinations, including Montreal (journey time - 4-5 hours), Ottawa (journey time - 4 hours) and Niagara Falls (journey time - 2 hours), as well as the USA (New York City) via Niagara Falls. Both economy and first-class (VIA 1) cars are available on services along the Quebec City-Windsor corridor, which accounts for most of Canada's passenger rail traffic. The carriages are clean and quiet, with large windows that confer a sense of the country's vastness, as the train passes acres of farmland and mixed conifer and deciduous forests. VIA 1 fares include a surprisingly good meal and complimentary Canadian wines. Longer distance services to Vancouver and the East Coast (changing at Montreal) offer a variety of seated and sleeper accommodation options. Union Station is also the main hub for GO Trains (see Getting Around), overland trains providing frequent commuter service to the city's outlying suburbs.
