raveling by train through New York State
offers travelers a chance to see the more natural side of the Northeast.
Several trains depart Albany each day on their way to New York City, making it
easy to book train travel between the two cities.
Prepare
to Depart from Albany
1
Prepare to walk from the parking lot. While
plenty of long- and short-term parking is available, prepare for a short hike
to the train depot while carrying your bags.
2
Expect to pay between $25 and $30 to take a
cab to the train station from downtown. The Albany station is actually across
the river in Rensselaer.
3
Consider using one of the convenient ticket
kiosks to print your tickets. The kiosks can also be used to purchase tickets,
make upgrades and check schedules.
Book Your Train Travel from Albany to New
York
4
Avoid delays by booking a train that originates
in Albany. Many of the trains that pass through Albany must go through customs,
which can cause delays.
5
Reserve early during the summer and
holidays. Not only will you get the best fare, but you'll have your choice of
what time you'll depart Albany.
6
Travel in business class for a more
comfortable ride. Almost every train out of Albany to New York offers business
class, so take advantage of the inexpensive upgrade.
7
Consider booking the daily Adirondack if
you plan to watch the sights. The Adirondack train offers extra-large windows
and guides are available on the train during peak season.
Make a Connection at Penn Station in New
York
8
Catch the subway. Four lines run through
Penn Station with entrances directly from the main concourse on the lower
level.
9
Head towards 33rd Street to catch the PATH
train to New Jersey. There is a tunnel that connects the stations, but it is
sometimes closed, meaning you'd have to head above ground to access the PATH
station.
10
Head east on the Long Island Railroad or to
Jersey on New Jersey Transit. Both commuter lines have their own concourses
located near the Amtrak terminal.
