| The Maple Leaf (Amtrak's Toronto New York City service) arrives Niagara Falls OT without any apparent need for track. Despite being an Amtrak train, while in Canada the train is staffed by VIA Rail Canada staff and all announcements are in both English and French. On crossing into the United States Amtrak staff take over and all the VIA Rail napkins are replaced with Amtrak ones - VIDEO CAPTUREs Malcolm McCrow | |
