Amtrak is resuming service connecting New York City and Montreal next month, more than two years after the pandemic halted trains from crossing across the shared border between the U.S. and Canada.

The reopening of Amtrak's Adirondack line follows the resumption of trains last fall between Seattle and Vancouver, Canada, which was also shuttered because of COVID-19 worries.

Last summer, Amtrak reopened full service on the Maple Leaf line, which links New York City and Ontario, Canada. It has been much tougher to relaunch service between New York and Montreal.
