Maple Leaf (train)
The ''Maple Leaf'' is an international passenger train service operated by Amtrak and Via Rail between Pennsylvania Station in New York City and Union Station in Toronto via the Empire Corridor. Daily service is offered in both directions; the trip takes approximately 12 hours, including two hours for customs and immigration inspection. Although Amtrak rolling stock is used exclusively, the train is staffed by Via Rail personnel while in Canada. Service began in 1981.
== History ==
Amtrak and Via Rail introduced the ''Maple Leaf'' along the Hudson River and Erie Canal on April 26, 1981. The new ''Maple Leaf'' was the first collaboration between the two companies and the first New York-to-Toronto passenger service in a decade. The new train employed Amtrak's Amfleet coaches with a dinette car. A 1982 consist included a baggage car, two coaches and a dinette; time spent in customs ranged from thirty minutes to two hours.
In the US an Amtrak crew operates the train whereas in Canada a Via Rail crew is in charge. Because of this need for a crew exchange, the ''Maple Leaf'' was one of the last Amtrak trains to receive the new GE Genesis locomotive owing to the Via Rail's crews' unfamiliarity with the unit. The ''Maple Leaf'' retained the EMD F40PH until Via received its own Genesis locomotives in 2002.〔
