Does Amtrak go to Canada?

There are six stops in Canada to choose from (Niagara Falls on the Canadian side, St. Catharines, Grimsby, Aldershot, Oakville and Toronto Union Station). In addition to New York City, you can also board the train in Upstate New York, including in Buffalo, Syracuse, Rochester and Albany.



Yes, Amtrak operates several cross-border routes that connect major United States cities with Canadian destinations. The most prominent is the Maple Leaf, which runs daily between New York City and Toronto via Niagara Falls. Another key route is the Adirondack, which travels from New York City through the scenic Hudson Valley to Montreal. On the West Coast, the Amtrak Cascades connects Eugene and Portland to Vancouver, British Columbia, via Seattle. Travelers on these routes must go through customs and immigration at the border, so a valid passport or enhanced driver's license is mandatory. While these services were suspended for a period due to border restrictions, they are fully operational as of 2026, providing a relaxed and scenic alternative to flying or driving between the two North American neighbors.
