Riding the rails from New York City to Toronto and then eventually onward to London, Ontario, Jason Slaughter of Not Just Bikes details his journey, highlighting the good and bad of Amtrak and Via Rail service and amenities. One big takeaway from Slaughter is just how slow the trains are. On the first leg of his trip, travel time between New York City and Toronto was over 12 hours, largely the consequence of poor industry regulation and infrastructure. But Slaughter also points out how the North American passenger rail operators charge very high prices and customer service is often significantly lacking from a global standpoint.
