When Mr Monkey scampered to the correct platform for the New York train, he was a little alarmed to see the length of the queue, but Via, the Canadian railway people, don't sell more tickets than seats, so there wasn't anything to be worried about. Most people in the queue seemed to be going to New York, possibly going back after the Thanskgiving of the day before. When he got onto the platform, Mr Monkey was directed to the carriage for people who wanted to stay in Canada, which had many empty seats
