Maple Leaf (GTW train) : ウィキペディア英語版
Maple Leaf (GTW train)

The ''Maple Leaf'' was a passenger train operated by the Grand Trunk Western Railroad ("Grand Trunk") between Chicago, Illinois and Toronto, Ontario. It operated from 1927 to 1971. The train took its name from the maple leaf, the national symbol of Canada. The ''Maple Leaf'' was one of many trains discontinued when Amtrak began operations in 1971, and is unrelated to the ''Maple Leaf'' which Amtrak now operates between Toronto and New York City.
== History ==
The Grand Trunk introduced the ''Maple Leaf'' on May 15, 1927. The train operated on an overnight schedule between Chicago and Montreal, Quebec. In 1932 it began carrying a through sleeper for New York. In May 1937 the Grand Trunk renamed the westbound ''Maple Leaf'' the ''La Salle''. The eastbound ''Maple Leaf'' was known as the ''New York Maple Leaf'' between 1938 and 1939. The name ''Toronto Maple Leaf'' was briefly applied to a Chicago–Port Huron, Michigan train in 1938.〔 In 1938 the ''New York Maple Leaf'' was one of several Grand Trunk trains to receive Class U-4-b 4-8-4 steam locomotives built by the Lima Locomotive Works.〔
The ''Maple Leaf'' operated on a daytime schedule between Chicago and Toronto in the 1950s. It carried a Chicago–Montreal through sleeper, a Chicago–Detroit through coach, a Port Huron–Toronto cafe/parlor car, parlor cars, and coaches. A dining car operated between Chicago and Lansing, Michigan.〔 The Montreal sleeper ended in 1958.〔
In 1966 the Grand Trunk renamed the westbound ''Inter-City Limited'' the ''Maple Leaf'', thus making the ''Maple Leaf'' a daytime round-trip between Chicago and Toronto. 〔 After the truncation of the ''International Limited'' to Port Huron on June 23, 1970, the ''Maple Leaf'' was the Grand Trunk train on the Chicago–Toronto route. Amtrak discontinued all remaining Grand Trunk trains when it began operations in 1971. Service over the Grand Trunk resumed on September 15, 1974, with the introduction of the ''Blue Water Limited''.〔
