14 Hour Train Ride: New York To Toronto (Flip Cam Videos)
When I was planning my trip up to Canada from New York, I decided I wanted to take the train instead of flying or the bus. I’m not a fan of the bus because it’s cramped and I need to use the toilet often, and flying is almost six times more expensive.
So here I am right now in Train 63 from New York to Toronto, just about exactly four hours in, and having the time of my life! Check out the view!

Also the space in here is absolutely heavenly. It’s much more space than you’d get if you fly, with bigger toilets and most importantly for me, power points! It’s like paying one sixth of an economy ticket to travel first class on the ground. Awesome.
Endless rows of power lines
Where cars go to die
I realise of course that for people on business or in a rush the train isn’t always the most economic option because of the time wasted (this trip takes 12 hours), but if you’re pretty much on vacation like I am, then you should really try taking the train to travel around because it’s a new experience.
Finally: Here’s a video of my seat and its’ awesomeness.
