Amtrak New York City Utica recent customer reviews

Was a great experience first time traveling from Utica to Manhattan. All employees were helpful very professional would definitely recommend not only for myself, but other people taking Amtrak thanks again. On a sidenote, it’s kind of cool to know that the doors aren’t gonna fly out, or the wheels will fall off in transit, unlike the airline industry
