Users have shared positive feedback about their experiences, highlighting a beautiful ride along the Hudson and noting that it was a wonderful experience for first-time riders.

Amtrak Albany New York recent customer reviews

Tracks were flooded just south of Beacon, so train was stopped. The worst part, though, was the lack of appropriate communication, leading to abandonment of the train by large numbers of people, including myself. The problem seems to be ultimately caused by a lack of investment in infrastructure. Amtrak communication is atrocious.
