I like the train.
I'm not entirely sure why (though a white-knuckle fear of flying is probably part of the equation) but there's just something about getting to watch the landscape zoom past your window.
If you're considering taking the train to Montreal here's something else to think about.
A 10% discount.
Book your trip to Montreal on Amtrak and you'll get a 10% discount if you use our convention code: X59Y-965.
Yes, some restrictions do apply...like you can't book online if you're using the code and the code will only work for a set period on both sides of the convention.
But hey...10% discount.
And...bar car.
