That's not the same train. You have to change trains in New
Haven CT for = the Vermonter. It would take him too far
inland. That train has baggage = cars. See the schedule.

As of two or three years ago there was an Amtrak train,
the Vermonter, that ran from D.C. via NYC to St. Albans,
VT, and accepted bicycles.=20 It's still listed as active
on the Amtrak web site. Two friends and I took the train
from Hartford to St. Albans and then rode our bikes back
to Conn. St. Albans is only 10 miles or so short of the
Canadian border and maybe 70 miles from Montreal. It
would be an easy day's ride from Montreal to St. Albans
to pick it up.
