Toronto Union Station, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, 2013

My solution to the air travel fiasco was to take the "Maple Leaf" from Toronto to Utica. The Maple Leaf is an international train operated jointly by VIA Rail Canada, Canada's national passenger train operator, and Amtrak, VIA's American equivalent. The schedule is 7 hours, 9 minutes long, which is mostly due to a great deal of padding for the Niagara Falls stop, where the border control is. This rather elaborate station is Toronto Union Station, the busiest train station in Canada, hosting 200,000 passengers a day. Although it was opened in 1927, it's full of World War I memorials and references.
