Is it possible to ride Amtrak INTO Canada? If so, can you tell me where the crossing points are located?

Thanks.

There is some sort of train that runs from Seattle to Vancouver BC.

I would expect there is one going north to Montreal, but that is just a guess.

I suggest googling Amtrak.

A quick review of https://www.amtrak.com/find-train-bu...s-train-routes shows 3 routes:
NYC - Toronto, crossing near Rouses Point NY
NYC - Montreal, crossing near Niagara Falls, NY
Portland OR - Vancouver, crossing near Bellingham, WA

Routes into Detroit get close as Windsor ON is just across the river.

Also border crossing info here: https://www.amtrak.com/crossing-the-us-canadian-border

Other way around. Rouses Pt is near Montreal and Niagara Falls is near Toronto.

It is possible to take an Amtrak train from NYC to Toronto. The crossing point is the Niagara Station. Recently I took a train from the Niagara, NY station to NYC and the train was delayed there for quite a while before the Niagara passengers were allowed to board due to the unusually long time it took U.S. Customs officials to go through the train.

Train in North America is pathetic, third world like. Actually, plenty of third world countries have better train service.

Don't bring cannabis on an Amtrak train.
