Amtrak Maple Leaf
Pros: The trip was long but it was comfortable. The delay was due to the US customs stop at Niagara as they were severely under-staffed on that day. Additionally the train was stationary on the way due to something to do with freight trains. Cons: Not so sure at this point...but there is always room for improvement.
