How do I go from Rhinecliff, NY to Ottawa, ON (CA) by train?

Question

One can take the Amtrak from Rhinecliff in New York to Montreal in Quebec but not to Ottawa. Does anyone know what train might be available from Montreal to Ottawa from the Amtrak train station in Montreal?

Answer 1

At the exact same station in Montreal, one catches trains to Ottawa on VIA Rail Canada. They run at least 4-6 trains daily; it's a nice short trip of only about 2 hours, as I recall.

Answer 2

In Montreal you would transfer to Via Rail Canada, same station and platform. You can book through Amtrak or through Via Rail, or just go to Montreal, that train is a daily service, several trips a day.
