   Years ago we went to Windsor, Ont and only had to answer a few questions by   
   the border guards in each direction.  No ID presentation of any kind.  I   
   understand today it is not so simple.   
      
   Returning to trains, I believe the 'Central's Wolverine went via Canada to   
   Detroit.  How did they handle the international travel on that train, without   
   slowing down the train?  It appears it was rather informal.   
      
   (Sadly, the train was pulled just before my trip to Detroit, so I had to fly.)
