I've been living in Albany for 6 years. Going to NYC via Amtrak is a luxurious means while the scenery is much more gorgeous than taking a cheaper bus as the Hudson River can be seen. Moreover, the Amtrak between Albany and Boston gives an alternative scene, and a train from Albany to Vermont on the northeast or Montreal on the north is also worth taking.

Lived in Albany for 20+ years. Used Empire Service periodically for business trips to NYC. Wonderful way to get pre- and post-business work done. Thanks for the ride and the memories.

Loved the video! I will note that the rail line north of Poughkeepsie, while owned by CSX, is actually leased by Amtrak; who dispatches and maintains the line from Poughkeepsie up to Schenectady. Most CSX service runs along the west side of the Hudson River, which they retain control of.

Not talking, just giving subtitles really adds to your videos. Great job and will watch more.

I've ridden Metro North commuter trains on this route. Peekskill to Grand Central with a change at Croton to EMU. The beautiful Hudson in view almost all the day.
Thank you Thibault.😀😀💚💚

One reason Albany exists is that it is at the full extent of the tidal bore of the Hudson river. Any further in the days of sailing ships, and you would be fighting against the flow of the river, but since the tides will stop or slow that flow below Albany sailing is made easier during those periods. The development of steamships could double the speed of the journey or better since tying up at the shore to wait for the favorable tides was no longer necessary.

Looking at the description, I was surprised to find that Amtrak now run between Athens and Thessaloniki.

What I like best about your videos is that you have broad (not just Amtrak, not just US) rail experience, and it shows. There are a few You Tubers who just make videos to criticize Amtrak against some hypothetical European or Japanese trains they have apparently never ridden , just heard were wonderful. You aren't afraid to say when you think a fare is on the "high" side or when it's a relative bargain. Loved your "This isn't Walmart" comment on the cafe car food prices. They strike me as chea[per than most airport prices! Good video.

Toujours un grand plaisir de voyager en train avec vous sur ces lignes que je n'aurai jamais la possibilité de connaître. Merci

I very well remember Amtrak trains running into Grand Central Station until 1991!!!

Poughkeepsie - the town that sounds like an illness. 😄
The station there is very nice. I believe it was designed by the same architect that designed GCT. Also, the walk over the old bridge on the river is really neat.

Ahh, yes. The May in Greece is always so beautiful 😁. Nevertheless - another interesting video 👍

We were on the Maple Leaf. The ride along the Mohawk River/Erie Canal is beautiful!!!

Oh wow, the Amtrak from Athens to Thessaloniki!

You should do the entirety of the route. While I've only ever ridden it from Buffalo to Niagara Falls, I've been to the locations the trains pass, and they are amazing. Once you get into Buffalo, you follow the Niagara River the remainder of the way to Niagara Falls, and the views are really nice.

Thank You!

Hey, if you looked across the river from Rhinecliff, you would see Kingston, where I now live! Commenter Chris Thompson mentioned the old bridge just north of the Poughkeepsie station. It's called Walkway Over the Hudson. It was a train bridge until fire damaged it in 1974, and the railroad did not repair it. After a few decades, it was fixed up and opened to pedestrians and bicyclists. Well worth a visit, especially since it's part of a larger rail trail network on both sides of the river.

Fun fact a little north of Albany is where the track is known to have trains up to 110mph including the lakeshore limited, Empire Service, maple leaf, and many more

I've commuted to GCT from Poughkeepsie for years. August 25, 2023 was the first time I took the train north of Poughkeepsie. It was foggy because of the rain, but beautiful.
