Ask me anything

Was there a dining car and did you get anything to eat there?

Also, if you did what was available? And did it taste good?

There was a dining car available, I didn't visit it.

Yeah, I had nobody sitting next to me the whole time. I found the experience much more pleasant than air travel.

Totally.

I've booked a shorter train trip in May, and planning on doing this same route in August.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

I would get panic attacks when I tried learning; probably related to my anxiety issues. I went to college in Boston, where driving wasn't necessary, and now live in NYC.

It was like a 10 minute walk to Penn Station from where I was staying, then 20 minutes by car to get home.

Oh damn that's the best. Just the whole spread to yourself in a chair that's comfier than any airplane seat.

As someone who does a yearly Boston to DC, I feel the Amtrak life. :)

Nice. I've read that a couple times although it's not one of my favourite Vonnegut novels. I say that as a huge Vonnegut fan who likes all of his stuff.

Must be nice

theres some talk of putting an Amtrak station near my house, which would be the first one in the area, but the Republican controlled legislature is dead set against passenger rail expansion because it would make traveling more convenient

That's been going on for at least 60 years.
We gave our country over to Passenger Vehicles, Interstates, and Subdivisions.

~It's one of the reasons our country is so ill.

Ya, it's awesome!!
Right side on the way down and left side on the way up!!

It's a great ride!

I would assume it is similar for The Mohawk.

I remember once being by Amsterdam and seeing the tracks, the roads and the river/canal, it made me thing of the Planes, Trains and Automobiles....which I've never actually watched.

But ya, I love The Adirondack Line.

I'm hoping to take it to NYC and also Burlington VT this year.

I don't have an enhanced license, but ya, I would love to get up there.

I did go through several border 'checkpoints' though...well away from the border, somewhat after 9/11
That was fucked up.

Thankfully they cut that shit out.
