Amtrak to Montreal

Amtrak’s Adirondack route travels daily between New York City and Montreal. You can also board the train in Upstate New York, including in Yonkers, Poughkeepsie, Albany and Sarasota Springs.

If you are starting the trip in a city that’s not on the Adirondack route, you’ll likely need to travel to Penn Station in Manhattan or to Albany and transfer to a Montreal-bound train there. Note that the train to Montreal departs New York City in the morning, so you may need to stay one night in New York City before continuing on to Canada.
