Finally, Amtrak has agreed to restore Empire Service trains just in time for holiday travelers. Construction in New York City had halted some of the services.
As the Hudson River winds through New York, it passes through some beautiful small cities. One of them is being recognized as the best place to live in the whole state.
One of the best ways to travel across New York State or into New York City is by train on Amtrak. I have always found it so relaxing and efficient to travel to Buffalo by train and since there are so many renovations to the New York State Thruway rest areas, it's the best way to travel.
