OK Amtrak afficianodos and experienced riders, my family wants to visit Niagara in late December and have planned travel dates of Saturday 12/27 from NY Penn to Niagara and return on Tuesday Dec. 30. ( h34r: <--wearing ski hat ...BRRR!)
The schedule is rather gruesome since we have to leave our respective starting points (New London CT and BWI Baltimore late the night before and sit in NY Penn for 4 or 5 hours before departing on the Maple leaf #63 at 7:15.
What kind of equipment and service shall we expect? We have 4 adults and 2 children ages 10 and 6. I plan to upgrade all 6 seats to Business Class on # 63 for the ~10 hour trip (assuming some delays). Also plan to upgrade to Bus Class for the return trip to NYP on #286.
Observations, comments, suggestions are encouraged and welcome!
