That's how I heard it, in a nutshell........ I'm sure you are correct re which bridge it really would have been.

Yesterday, Monday, we saw the breaking news out of Canada........
What a week or two this has been..........to say the least.

We've only taken an Amtrack train once..........when we wanted our little son, 4 at the time, to experience an old fashioned train ride.......from New York City's Grand Central Station........to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.....and then back up to Albany on the "Montrealer".....every other time, we all flew. But , I can only imagine the horror of being on a train and then the bridge being blown up.

Sorry, didn't mean to imply that it was anything more than informational. As for the Montrealer, it can be one gorgeous trip in the fall if you hit the changing of the colors at just the right time. Although I have logged over 43,000 passenger rail miles over the years, I never got to take the Montreal trip out of Rennselaer. I guess it was just too short a trip for me or the fact that I just don't travel for the view exclusively.

Most of my miles have been cross country round trips. I also have an Amtrak Guest Rewards account and have accumulated enough points to travel two more cross country round trips in a handicapped accessible room, meals included, without having to spend a single cent for the reservations. When we moved here in 2011, I took the Autotrain and didn't have to pay a cent for that reservation either.
