Davion, it’s the train tunnels, and the basement from what was left of Penn Station. That’s under Madison Square Garden. They did a beautiful job changing that old post office to be a train Hall. There are still plenty of beautiful old train stations left in the USA. But they’re not in the really big cities. For example, my Amtrak station in Minnesota is in St. Paul. About 10 years, we brought back to life the old Saint Paul Union Depot. We spent quite a few years working on it, bringing it back to life. But sadly like most Amtrak stations. It only has one a day each way. There are still a lot of train stations there. You just gotta know where to look

How did it go?

@cryorig_transit05 12 күн бұрын

@Alt-Key_Here It was pretty good! Even though it arrived at POU a few minutes late, the overall experience was calming. It was going pretty fast as well! The bathroom is also decently clean. The crew is awesome too

Just to clarify: The Farley Post Office was converted to Moynihan train station. It’s an annex to Penn Station. That’s where the Amtrak ticket office and waiting room is located. LIRR also has a ticket office and waiting room at Moynihan. The majority of Penn Station is under Madison Square Garden. It’s cramped and congested. Lots of unsavory people loiter there. It’s served by NJ Transit and the LIRR. Amtrak can be accessed from this portion of Penn Station.

Thank you for this comment!! I was not sure if the post office was specifically converted into the train hall! Thank you. 😊

Davion, nice to see you on U.S. soil! Please do a video of all the smoke break cities you visit in any state you pick. I absolutely love that idea you came up with. ❤😊 Very interesting ceilings at Penn Station. I hope you share a video with us on your trip to Toronto, Canada. Will you be riding VIA rail Canda? Thanks so much for all you do!! I absolutely look forward every week for your videos. Peace and love!❤️📣📣👍

Awesome video. Suggestion for your next trip. Scotland. Amazing country and great train rides to the highlands. Home of Harry Potter.

@DavionWest Ай бұрын

Yesss that is high on my list!!! I went to Scotland last year but didn’t get tickets earlier enough :(. So next time for sure

@kingbradentucky 27 күн бұрын

If you are able to get the Amtrak credit card. Worth it for the point bonus when you buy tickets but you'll get some Metropolitan Lounge passes.

@DavionWest 26 күн бұрын

I was thinking about that, do you have the card?

@kingbradentucky 25 күн бұрын

@@DavionWest , yes FWIW I have teh $95 annual fee one, not the free one. It good for Amtrak tickets and the bonuses you get on Amtrak purchases but for other spending its mid tier for points. If you are riding Amtrak a lot it worth it though.

@jamsaanich4993 Ай бұрын

Your edits are on point Davion. Vids are lookin polished. I agree about the windows. They need to elevate their give a $&@? where overall cleanliness is concerned. I can’t recommend the train from Podgorica to Belgrade for that same reason. Cheers.

@DavionWest Ай бұрын

Thank you for the kind words :)! Yeah I wish they cleaned the windows, whats the point in having them if you cant see out of them?? I have to go to Belgrade someday :)

I have a question: when you are showing the coach seat, you said in coach you get 1 US plug outlet and in business class you get 2. In coach, are you required to sit next to someone? Because if I'm sitting next to no one, it would be as good as sitting in business class

@DavionWest 9 күн бұрын

You are not required too, but of course if its a full train then yes you will be required too. But People get off at big stops. So either way you should be able to find two open seats depending on how far you are traveling.
