I think a lttle perspective is in order here.
Even in the D&H days (I've ridden both the Montreal Limited and the Laurentian), this route was never known for its speed. It was for all practical purposes a 40-50 MPH route.
As to the border delays...well, thats the price we pay for living in the post- 9/11 world.
Mr. de402 seems pretty put off by this train. From the sounds of it he seems to prefer to drive. Well I-87 (The Adirondack Northway) is a nice drive, though it does get hairy in the winter. And you'll still get held at the border.
