Tuesday's Jeopardy! had a category in the first round called "ALL ABOARD AMTRAK." As is often the case, none of the clues were in direct relation to the category name, and you didn't really need any knowledge of Amtrak to know the responses, though in my case, I wouldn't have ran the category if I hadn't known the name of a certain Amtrak train.  Anyway, here are the clues:

$200:  The Adirondack route hits NYC, Albany & this second-largest Canadian city

$400:  I'm the train route they call the City of This, which also hits Memphis &Chicago; I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done

$600:  The Southwest Chief route takes a "right toyn" after stopping at this 11-letter N.M. city (Relax, we won't make you spell it)

$800:  The Express route named for this Fort Ticonderoga hero has stops in Rutland & Castleton, Vermont

$1000:  The Keystone Route serves NYC, Philly and this capital; Three Mile Island's nearby if you're the nuclear plant gawker type
