I am looking at going to Montreal this summer and decided to see what it would take to train my way there.<\/p>\n

Basically, it takes time.<\/p>\n

I looked at two different route options: DEN to MTR via TOR or via ALB.<\/p>\n

No matter which way you go, you will need to overnight in either Toronto or Albany.<\/p>\n

So the Optimal way to train it seems to be go via Toronto. That is a nice city to visit plus there are a number of TOR-MTR trains to choose from if you don’t want to catch the 1135. I I actually ignored some earlier trains so I could sleep in.<\/p>\n

And Return via Albany, where the are minimal layover times and you can get back to Denver in three days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
