Monday morning I am off to Kingston The days was to be rain, trains, and trains.
I checked out of my hotel, walked through the automatic doors, turned left, down an escalator, and onto the platform for the monorail to Terminal 1. After short, quick, and silent trip on the driverless monorail I stepped out at Terminal 1 and walked to the end of the platform and straight through the doors of UP train. Placed my luggage in the loading racks and I settled into a seat. Less the five minutes the door closed and I was off to Toronto’s Union Station.
The view from my seat and the end of my carry-on bag in the luggage rack, followed by view out the window while travelling the first elevated section of the trip with the hotel I spent the previous night.
The UP train is a relatively new direct link from the airport to Toronto’s Union Station. A twenty minute ride with just two stops and trains leaving every 15 minutes. A quick comfortable ride that cost $12 return.
At the end of the UP ride it was a short walk and I was in the main foyer of the Union Station.
From the foyer it was a short walk down a sloping floor to a lower level to the area where my ticket was checked and I headed up an escalator to the platform. I found carriage number three the guard help load my bags, I found my seat and I was soon off to Kingston some two hours away.
Before pulling out I lent over and took this photo of the inside of the carriage.
