Welcome to our second long-distance Amtrak review! We're following the tracks of the old New York Central aboard the Lake Shore Limited. This train runs between Chicago and New York or Boston. Sleeping car passengers travel in Viewliner coaches, while coach passengers enjoy the scenery of the Great Lakes and the rivers in upstate New York from a comfortable Amfleet II car. We travelled in coach, and although there were areas of the trip that could definitely have been better, particularly the on-board staff, we enjoyed cruising through the winter landscapes of New York.
In this video we also show you how to use Amtrak's parcel check service. If you arrive at the station in the morning, leave later in the day, and don't want to lug a bag through the city, Amtrak will keep it safe for you for $10.
Trains Are Awesome!
