South to Toronto

Over at Orange Crate Art Michael has posted a passage from Robertson Davies' 1958 book, A Mixture of Frailties (the third instalment in The Salterton Trilogy) that describes a train trip from Montreal to the fictional Ontario town of Salterton (which is likely Kingston, Ontario, or somewhere thereabouts). The part about "the snowy landscape" got me thinking about a VIA Rail trip we took from Ottawa to Toronto in January 2019, well before the pandemic kicked in. I shot a little out-the-window video on that trip. So, here's 1 minute of a trip that usually takes about 4.5 hours.
