If only they would run the service during the night (something like 10pm to 10am), it would be always full!

Years ago there used to be an overnight train, but that was in the neolithic when Windsor was an operating station.

@Kate When I took the Montrealer — the overnight train to NYC — way back when (late ’80s or early ’90s), it left from Central Station. IIRC, the Adirondack originally used Windsor Station.

I’ve been trying to find information about the Montrealer train for a while. Like for example ridership, consists, route performance. Back then, Amtrak didn’t provide route level information.
If anybody has some info or data, it would be appreciated.

Anton, I queried a train guy I know from Flickr and he sent these links, but had no further information:

This is the guy’s own Flickr account – lots more train photos, but more recent.

I remember meeting someone who traveled from NYC at Windsor Station, back in the 70’s, early evening, really very atmospheric – big loss

@Tee Owe There was a short period when you embarked the Adirondack at Windsor Station and disembarked at Grand Central Station (soon switched to the depressing Penn Station). Plus, if the train wasn’t delayed, you’d have just enough time for dinner at the Oyster Bar. Talk about leaving and arriving in style!

My buddy told me just the other day that his commuter train goes to Windsor station.
He said that, but riding the clue-train not exactly his specialty.

Orr, I think some old-timers use that name metonymically to mean the Exo terminus near the Bell Centre.
