Has anyone here ever taken this Amtrak train which takes between 11 and 12 hours during the day? My husband and I want to go to Montréal for a week the last week of May and the rail fare is MUCH less expensive than flying. It is not worth redeeming miles as I am saving them for European travel.

I’m trying to gauge the reliability of this train. The service restarted on April 3 with a fare sale of $140 roundtrip. Traveling along the Hudson is beautiful as I’ve done that portion before and I would imagine the Adirondacks by train would be stunning. So if anybody has had any experience with this pre-pandemic, I’d love to hear it. Thanks.
