WELCOME RETURNING AND FUTURE BERLIN PASSENGERS!

 

 

Extraordinary Private Rail Getaways

 Come ride with us in 2023!

SOME NOTES ABOUT POSITIONING MOVES Many times we need to move the Berlin from its home base to the origin city where a charter originates and terminates. These are called “positioning moves” and while the Berlin is usually empty, we are sometimes able to make several seats available to our railfan friends and curious travelers that happen along at the right time and want to ride with us. Positioning moves are often one way trips priced well below normal private car fares. We post available positioning moves here with origin and final destination cities. We welcome guests to jump on or off at any city in between on the schedule, however, we can only offer a single rate on each move. Come along for a relaxed ride on the Berlin!




2023 Trip # 6
ONE WAY POSITIONING TRIP Albany to New York City
Empire Service along the scenic Hudson River
Sunday October 8, 2023

Join us for an informal, no frills ONE WAY day trip as we reposition the Berlin from Albany NY to New York City following a private charter. The low price point for this trip is only $50 per person, and On Board Services will be quite limited. Tickets are being sold on a first-come, first-served basis with no reserved rooms or seats. (NOTE: For passengers that desire the privacy of their own room, arrangements must be made in advance and a premium fare will be charged.) Meals en route will be Picnic Class (otherwise known as Bring Your Own Food), however we will supply coffee, soda and water en route. Positioning moves are a great way to “try out” private rail travel without breaking the bank. C’mon – you’ve always wanted to. Give it a try while these Heritage Railcars are still running on Amtrak!

ITINERARY
Our Train #260, Empire Service is scheduled to depart Albany Rensselaer Station at 8:10am. Travelling south from Albany, the route follows the picturesque Hudson River for much of the distance on the way to New York City, with scheduled arrival at the impressive Moynihan Train Hall at Penn Station at 10:45pm. This leaves plenty of time for a same-day return trip to Albany on Amtrak.
