First time traveling by train in the USA - New York to Boston

  • Traveling by train in the USA is an experience that was missing in my bucket list. So we jumped at this chance to go from New York to Boston by train. The departure was at Penn Station in NYC (Moynihan Train Hall), and the arrival at South Station in Boston. We ended up going by coach on Amtrak, as last-minute prices on the Acela were higher than for a plane ticket. But despite the higher ticket cost, the trip was very worth it, and I now have some tips if you will travel by train for the first time as well.

    ► WHO AM I?
    I am a Brazilian-American journalist living in Florida. After traveling the world working with sports, news, and events for over 15 years, I realized that what I really love is the travel part of it all. So I exchanged life in the newsrooms and stadiums for the daily challenge of being an independent content producer. I created this channel to share the beauties of the world... stuff that for so long I only kept to myself. Also to help people planning similar trips and to inspire more people to venture out and enjoy life!
    P.S.: The funny guy who appears in the vlogs is my husband, Gordon. He is Canadian-American and he's actually camera-shy, that's why he's behind the camera most of the time 😉

    Muito obrigado! Bravo! Great Video! I have traveled several times from NYC (Penn Station, NYP) to Boston South Station. Great experience. Coming from a country, India, where people mostly take the trains, I recommend that Americans also should travel by train. Like Amtrak advertises--- " See America a the 'SEE' level "! It is so gratifying that now-a-days, Americans have started taking the train. In fact, U.S.A. has the largest "rail" network, but most tracks are unused or used very sparingly. It is great to see AMTRAK making a comeback! One thing: most AMTRAK Stations are right in the City centers...in fact, history has that the cities grew AROUND the TRAIN-STATIONS! Hence one gets to be right in the downtown area(s) when one travels by train! Look forward to having many such informative videos on TRAIN-trips as well!

      Dear Rajeeve, On the east coast of America, the late Pennsylvania R.R built their lines to the center of the cities in order to bring passengers into the business area where the hotels and businesses had their headquarters. Where I lived before retiring was Jersey City, N.J which had their terminal where people took the ferries to NYC. From 1890 til 1910 the people used it and it went to the main business Area. For a mile it went above the streets by a 4 track El from near Journal to the Hudson River. From 1910 til 1967 the Pennsylvania R.R became the biggest and due to highways and airlines , it merged with the New York Central Railroad. It no longer exists but there is the Port Authority Trans Hudson subway where passengers from Amtrak change to,the subway trains. From there they go to the financial district of Wall street or take the subway to Midtown Manhattan 1 block away from Penn station. Penn is short for Pennsylvania and the hotel across 7th Avenue is also called the Pennsylvania Hotel. It has been there since 1920 and was built and owned by the same railroad. I should know, I am a New Yorker who grew up there.

    It's really a beautiful view of the shore on this trip, and even the industrial stuff is really neat to see. When I have time I opt to take the train rather than drive or fly between Boston and NYC. The folks attending to the food car are always a laugh and have very positive energy. Best way to travel between the two cities unless you're on a tight schedule.

    • @RenataPereiraTV
      @RenataPereiraTV  Před 2 lety +2

      Thanks for sharing. The train is so easy I would prefer it every time. I imagine the roads must be full of traffic between the 2 cities.

    • @luislaplume8261
      @luislaplume8261 Před 2 lety +2

      True! And in my case bring a lot of coins with you. The staff in the cafe car would appreciate it because they can make change for other passengers easier. It pays to bring several denominations of dollar Bill's from 1 to 100 dollars for the trip and for a down payment for holding your room in the hotel.

    Years ago, I lived in the suburbs of Philadelphia and took the train from there to Boston to visit with a university friend. I sat on the right and was thrilled to see the ocean as the train travelled part of Connecticut. I'm glad that you both enjoyed your trip. I have since taken Amtrak from my hometown of St. Albans, West Virginia, to visit my mother's sister in Arkansas and I totally enjoyed that trip, too - on that trip, I paid to have a little roomette and this gave me all of my meals and it was such alot of fun to go for a meal and meet other travellers and hear about their journeys. My family didn't think I'd enjoy Amtrak because I live now in the UK and have certainly taken the train in Britain, in Norway, and in the Netherlands, and they felt that Amtrak would be inferior but I think it has a lot of positives - I sure enjoyed my trips. Thanks for your video.

    I just went to Boston from Spokane, WA and loved the smooth ride, quietness, spacious seats, helpful train people, no tedious rules or TSA. If you’re not in a hurry and want getting there to be part of the journey, you love Amtrak like I do. And it’s actually about the same price as flying. I’m a definite train fan!

    Hey Renata and Gordon. You guys did a great job on this video report as well. I thought USA was very expensive but when I see the menu in the train station, it seems a little cheaper than in Belgium. From the looks of it, the trains are much more comfortable than in my country, but more expensive. Is interesting though that there are carriages where you are not allowed to talk loudly. In Belgium we have 1st and 2nd class but in itself it doesn't make much difference.

      You can get better prices here too if you buy in advance. But as the cities can be quite far from each other, I guess that's why prices might be higher. And I believe you have a huge advantage in Belgium: more high-speed trains, I think. Here it's still something brand new.

    Acela isn’t much faster than the Regional (I’ve used both). The only advantage that Acela has is that the trains are nicer. Acela has reserved seating. The Northeast Regional doesn’t (with the exception of Business Class, which is actually more expensive than a regular Acela ticket).
    Amtrak dining is overpriced. Buy food at the station and then bring it onboard.
