    Well this time around my daughter picked the Loomis gang train robbery ride…read more Wow what a great ride lots of characters wandering from car to car on the train dressed in Western style costumes. Robbers on horseback and even a gun fight outside the train my daughter was thoroughly entertained as well as I. Decent value a good entertainment for the whole family. Always a fun ride on the Adirondack scenic railroad. Hopefully someday we can go all the way up to Lake Placid now that would be a nice ride. Good job folks @ ADKRR

    We booked our Adirondack Railroad trip back in June and had really been looking forward to it. Our…read morescheduled time was 2:00 p.m., and I even emailed the office ahead of time to ask what time we should arrive so we would have enough time to park, pick up our tickets, and board. Unfortunately, the train didn't arrive until around 2:30, and we didn't actually board until nearly 3:00. Between arriving when we were told to and finally getting on the train, we ended up waiting about an hour and a half. With young children, that made the beginning of the experience pretty frustrating. I understand that delays can happen, especially with a train that has already been running earlier trips, but a more realistic timeline or better communication would make a huge difference. If we went again, I would probably book the first train of the day so there's a better chance of leaving on time. We were excited for this experience, so the long wait was disappointing and definitely something that could be improved.

    We took Amtrak from Buffalo, NY to NYC. It's an 8 hour trek which sounds like a long journey. It…read moreactually went by quickly and was very scenic, I liked that I could get up and stretch my legs. Each stop was 2-5 minutes at most. What I thought was strange is that the portion of the train with the food closed down just around noon. Seems to me that would be the high time for folks to what a nibble of something, The seats were comfortable, conductor was pleasant and everything was orderly. If you're not in a rush, it's a nice way to travel.

    Amtrak, Amtrak, Amtrak... what can I say? For one, though my departures from this station are…read moreusually no more than a few minutes late, freight traffic usually means I arrive at my destination an hour late. With the comfortable seats, adequate leg room, and free wi-fi, I usually don't mind the delay, but your time might be more important than mine. Still, Amtrak is a convenient, affordable option for those medium-length trips. Regarding this station in particular, it's pretty barebones. There is a small waiting room that will seat maybe six or eight people as well as restrooms for men and women alike. There is no ticket counter or attendant, but since Amtrak has smartphone apps to buy your tickets and then show right on your phone, the frontier-like, unmanned train shack in the wilderness (or just outside Amsterdam city limits) isn't bad. It also offers free parking and has room for maybe a dozen cars. I've never had any trouble leaving my car there while going out of town for a week, but, if I had left it at the Albany-Rensselaer Station, for example, I'd have to spend another $30 to pay for parking, so free parking is a nice plus.
