The Montreal Gazette reports some train-loving Montrealers are trying to build up steam for a train that would travel between Montreal and Boston by way of northern Vermont, New Hampshire and the Maine coast in a 14-hour overnight ride, across what are now a variety of freight tracks.

Backers say the "train de nuit" ride would cost about $212, up from the $150 proposed by backers of a Montreal-to-Boston train idea in 2013.
