I will be going to Ottawa sometime in February for a seminar. Can anyone comment on rail service thence from Boston? What about sights (esp. RR) while I'm there? Also, any (model-)RR clubs thereabouts? -- Kenn (...decvax!)goutal

The problem with the Montrealer, Washington-NY-Montreal, is that
it goes through the beautiful green mountains at about 4:00AM.
If you get up at sunrise you will catch a little of them.

Re: rail service from Boston to Ottawa.
As I see it, you've got a few options:
1.) the Amtrak Boston to Chicago train to Worcester, and then
wait to make connections with the Washington-NY-Montreal
train to Montreal, and then take VIA-Rail-Canada to Ottawa.
(The ride through the Green Moutatins of Vermont is supposed
to be lovely.)
2.) take Amtrak from Boston to NY, then take the Washington-NY-
Montreal train to Montreal, and then VIA-Rail-Canada to
Ottawa. (The ride through the Green Moutatins of Vermont is
supposed to be lovely.)
3.) take Amtrak from Boston to New York, and then take the
Amtrak New York State service that connects with VIA-Rail
Canada to Toronto, and then take VIA-Rail-Canada to Ottawa.
(I understand that this is a particularly beautiful route;
the ride up the eastern shore of the Hudson River being
especially delightful.)
4.) take the Amtrak Boston to Chicago train to Buffalo, or
some place thereabouts where you can make connections
with VIA-Rail-Canada.
