    New subbie.The skyline ceiling looked so cool at Penn Station and you spoke to a lot of people.
    Haven't done that trip since I was a child. I think you should do a tour of a few of the cities along the way like Yonkers, Albany, Rochester and Buffalo. If you are travelling to the Caribbean, you should try St. Vincent and the Grenadines. They have a Carnival in July.

    Davion, it’s the train tunnels, and the basement from what was left of Penn Station. That’s under Madison Square Garden.
    They did a beautiful job changing that old post office to be a train Hall. There are still plenty of beautiful old train stations left in the USA. But they’re not in the really big cities.
    For example, my Amtrak station in Minnesota is in St. Paul. About 10 years, we brought back to life the old Saint Paul Union Depot. We spent quite a few years working on it, bringing it back to life. But sadly like most Amtrak stations. It only has one a day each way.
    There are still a lot of train stations there. You just gotta know where to look

    Just to clarify: The Farley Post Office was converted to Moynihan train station. It’s an annex to Penn Station. That’s where the Amtrak ticket office and waiting room is located. LIRR also has a ticket office and waiting room at Moynihan.
    The majority of Penn Station is under Madison Square Garden. It’s cramped and congested. Lots of unsavory people loiter there. It’s served by NJ Transit and the LIRR. Amtrak can be accessed from this portion of Penn Station.

    Your edits are on point Davion. Vids are lookin polished. I agree about the windows. They need to elevate their give a $&@? where overall cleanliness is concerned. I can’t recommend the train from Podgorica to Belgrade for that same reason. Cheers.

    If you are able to get the Amtrak credit card. Worth it for the point bonus when you buy tickets but you'll get some Metropolitan Lounge passes.

      @@DavionWest , yes FWIW I have teh $95 annual fee one, not the free one. It good for Amtrak tickets and the bonuses you get on Amtrak purchases but for other spending its mid tier for points. If you are riding Amtrak a lot it worth it though.

    I have a question: when you are showing the coach seat, you said in coach you get 1 US plug outlet and in business class you get 2. In coach, are you required to sit next to someone? Because if I'm sitting next to no one, it would be as good as sitting in business class

    • @DavionWest
      @DavionWest  Месяц назад

      You are not required too, but of course if its a full train then yes you will be required too. But People get off at big stops. So either way you should be able to find two open seats depending on how far you are traveling.

    You can get on the train early with business class?

    • @DavionWest
      @DavionWest  12 дней назад

      For us, we didn’t get on the train first sadly. But on other Amtrak routes they let business class on first. It might just have been that day, that they didn’t let us on first.
