	Re: rail service from Boston to Ottawa.

	As I see it, you've got a few options:

	1.) the Amtrak Boston to Chicago train to Worcester, and then
	    wait to make connections with the Washington-NY-Montreal
	    train to Montreal, and then take VIA-Rail-Canada to Ottawa.
	    (The ride through the Green Moutatins of Vermont is supposed
	    to be lovely.)

	2.) take Amtrak from Boston to NY, then take the Washington-NY-
	    Montreal train to Montreal, and then VIA-Rail-Canada to
	    Ottawa.  (The ride through the Green Moutatins of Vermont is
            supposed to be lovely.)

	3.) take Amtrak from Boston to New York, and then take the
	    Amtrak New York State service that connects with VIA-Rail
	    Canada to Toronto, and then take VIA-Rail-Canada to Ottawa. 
	    (I understand that this is a particularly beautiful route;
	    the ride up the eastern shore of the Hudson River being
	    especially delightful.)

	4.) take the Amtrak Boston to Chicago train to Buffalo, or
	    some place thereabouts where you can make connections
	    with VIA-Rail-Canada.
