‘Summer is the busiest tourist season in Montreal. And between New York and Montreal, there is no rail alternative,’ Tourisme Montréal spokesperson says
Montreal tourism operators have begun to feel the impact of the suspension of the only daily train between their city and New York City.
“It’s a major constraint for many travellers” – more than 100,000 use the route each year – de Blois said in an interview. Amtrak has cited the speed restriction of 16 km/h that CN applies to all trains – its own freight cars included – on various stretches of track, including the one running about 60 kilometres to the U.S. border from Montreal, whenever temperatures risk hitting 30 C.
CN also said Amtrak could choose to put more crews on the route, who could staff the locomotives when the first crew’s shift ended. Regular service on the Adirondack line could resume in mid-September, when CN is expected to lift its periodic heat restrictions – or sooner if temperatures drop – he added.
