Amtrak to New York

My Amtrak trip from Buffalo was uneventful and on time. I rode in the coach – there is heaps of room and it is very comfortable, another time I will try coach on overnight – heaps cheaper, and I think it will be just as easy to sleep – certainly easier than a plane.

From Albany the train hugged the edge of the mighty Hudson river which was particularly beautiful – spanned occasionally by huge bridges. There were unconcerned blue herons, lazy boats and the occasional working barge, and sunset over the river was a picture. As we neared New York the occasional shack became large houses and estates.
