Our train from Winnipeg to Toronto was supposed to arrive by 9:40 a.m., but due to many delays from freight trains (we had to “pull over” for each one) we did not pull into the station until 3 hours later. We were able to check into our Air B&B, grab a late lunch, and then had the rest of the evening to explore the north end of the city at Spadina Museum and Casa Loma.
