Amtrak's Adirondack Route Resumes with Scenic Views and Slower Pace.
Amtrak has resumed its Adirondack service between New York City and Montreal, Canada, after the closure of the US-Canada border due to the pandemic. However, the trip is now 30 minutes longer due to lower speed limits, mainly in Canada. The longer journey time is due to lower speed limits along the route imposed by host railroads, mostly in Canada. The Adirondack’s return is a sign that there is a demand for more long-distance rail travel in the United States, especially outside of cities.
