- Опубліковано 30 чер 2023
- Welcome back! Amtrak's newly reinstated Adirondack service takes passengers from downtown Manhattan, all the way to Montreal, Quebec through some of the best scenery east of the Mississippi. This route was out of service for several years due to the pandemic, but was reinstated in April of 2023. I hope you enjoy this trip report and video, thanks for coming along and watching!

This ride would be glorious in the fall!
Thanks. I was wondering about the procedure at the border. Looking to make the trip in February with a snowy view.
thanks for the video! considering taking the train up to montreal soon and was wondering what it was like/what to expect re: customs and tickets. this is good information, much appreciated. this'd be an incredible route to take in the fall.
As a regular Amtrak rider that crosses the border at least a couple times a year, I just wanted to clarify the bit @1:16. You can cross the border with an eticket PDF, it just has to be printed off on paper (Ive been doing it that way for the last 10 years)
Thank you!!
I took the Adirondack from Port Henry (small town on Lake Champlain) up to Montreal last spring and nobody ever stamped my ticket. I had fill out a customs declaration form and a border officer asked me a bunch of questions, but no stamp.
This was a really helpful and well put together video. I'm headed up in a few weeks and wanted to get a sense of what to expect. This was perfect. Thank you.
Enjoy your trip!
Great video, I was wondering what the northbound trip was like when it came to Canadian customs
Didn’t expect that they would board the train to do the process. Good to know I plan on taking this train in May of next year.
It's the same between Seattle and Vancouver. They board just to check your passport. Simple but respectful.
Thx NYC tomorrow then Canada bound on Wed. First time on Amtrak.
Very nice
Nice!
Nice video
Took it from Albany to Montreal in Jan. ‘86, was halycyonic because it was like play money with the exchange rate, downtown neat motels for only $60, oh, some of the coldest days of the year up there and smoked meat. Minimal border delay (back then). But now it will be shut down for a month and a half because of rail concerns this June.
...the track is closed, i just heard, till July.
Welp, there goes my June vacation. Thanks for the heads up!
Thanks for informing about the physical ticket. Does Amtrak remind you or is that thing to know
Based on what another frequent traveler said, an eTicket or printed paper ticket at the station works. I had not heard this from Amtrak itself but heard it from other passengers.
@@bdtransit I usually don't print a physical ticket anymore since I have the app
Where are the stunning views
It's actually a P32ACDM
Do you have to change seats in Albany?
Nope!
Actually the Amtrak P32s are not compatible with Metro North third rail which is under-running. They are compatible with LIRR third rail which is over-running.
Amtrak only uses the third rail to get into and out of Penn Station. As mentioned above, it's not compatible with Metro North.
Thank you for this video ! You don't show us the lunch is their meals including in the tickets price ?
Since this is an all coach class train, meals are not included. There is a cafe car that you can purchase food and drinks if you wish, but no meal service.
@@bdtransit ok thank you !
Pack a lunch, don't count on what they offer.
@@partiellementecreme piss off cracker
Why does it take 40 minutes to change engines?
Coach only?!!!!! Ugh I will pass
Price per ticket?
The price depends on how full the train is at the time of booking. It can vary.
@@bdtransit Is it competitive with airfare?
@@robertfishman3742 i bought tickets a few months in advance and it was 70$ each way for me, so much cheaper than flying
@robertfishman3742 On average its $100 cheaper.
This vid doesn't make me want to take this rail trip.
Awww too bad
THE CAMERA MOTION IS VERY DISCONCERTING. IT IS GETTING ME NAUSEOUS AND I MUST STOP VIEWING THE VIDEO.
Good stop watching it then
