The International Limited, during 1982–2004, was a named passenger train operated between Chicago and Toronto, Ontario.

Famous quotes containing the word limited:
“To believe her limited in range because she was harmonious in method is as sensible as to imagine that when the Atlantic Ocean is as smooth as a mill-pond it shrinks to the size of a mill-pond.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
