As the train arrived in Chatham from its origins in Windsor, the first leg of my journey included stops in London, Woodstock, Brantford, Aldershot (Hamilton) and Oakville before arriving in Toronto.
The second train, after a transfer at Union Station in Toronto, was literally full, involving reserved seating and relatively few stops at Whitby, Belleville and finally Kingston before the iron horse continued on to Montreal without me. Special thanks to my sister for not only picking me up at the train station in Kingston, but also suggesting a dinner of hoagies at a local landmark near the Queen's University campus.
All in all a very introspective voyage. Perhaps I should have been concentrating on writing fiction on the train instead of work-related matters.

Nice... you make me want to take the train now.
Has VIA's food improved at all? My recollection of their "meals" involves hard as rock bread and limp lettuce.
No meal....they had sanwiches, snacks and stuff for sale but I brought my own. Apparently they had wine too but I didn't figure that out until we were nearing Kingston....
Ah!!! at last I found what I was looking for. Somtimes it takes so much effort to find even tiny useful piece of information.
This was really interesting. I loved reading it.
