Question Resolved!

I love Canada!
No - I haven't spent much time there at all, but after talking to my Canadian friend, I was informed that they have another rail system (the VIA train rather than Amtrak) which has a GREAT connection from Windsor to Toronto.  Only a 4.5 hour train ride, with a train connection right to the airport.  It's WAY faster than Amtrak, and actually reliable.

So, we will do a 4.5 hour train ride, a 50 minute train ride, an 8 hour flight, followed by a shuttle to the train station terminal, then a 2.5 hour train ride to Aachen.

Still no picnic - but we can have our cake (shorter travel) and eat it too (good price)!
