I live in Portland, Oregon. Two years ago and the year before that, I flew to Albany, NY - then took Amtrak's Adirondack line north to Port Henry. On both trips, there was no WIFI.
This year, I plan to go ALL THE WAY from Portland to Port Henry via Amtrak. And this year, I noticed that Amtrak's website indicates WIFI is now available for passengers on the Adirondack line. I honestly don't know how they "do it" (enable WIFI on a moving train). But I have a question. While Amtrak's website indicates WIFI availability on the Adirondack line, it's apparently not available on either the Empire Builder or Lake Shore Limited lines. Does anyone know if this is planned for the future on either-or-both lines ... and if so, how soon?
One related question. Coach cars on the Adirondack line are equipped with AC outlets for every row of seats (and on each side of the aisle). Is this also true for coach cars on the Empire Builder and Lake Shore Limited lines?
Thanks in advance to all who reply.
