Wife and I made a trip by car a few years. Stayed over by Primanti's, and walked to the ball park. It's a beaut alright. Ate at a really good Polish Deli (L&D?), had perogies and halushki! Saw the city for the first time. we took a guided tour which was very informative, and we noted how clean...

Ashland is a busy track with freight and passenger. The other day, a very long freight train was on the outer track (NB) from the station were folks were waiting for the northbound NE Regional on that side. The NER pulled in the station side, and had to wait for the freighter to pass. When it...

Harrisburg, PA

Harrisburg, PA (HAR). Took these when dropping my daughter off a few weeks ago. I thought it was nice inside. Really liked the fireplaces at either end of the lobby (no longer in use). Pennsylvania Railroad Loco and Caboose on premise. Small newsstand inside, no food vendors and not much close...

Same here. And they have plenty of free longterm parking!

How's the parking in Elizabethtown for longer trips? Is it allowed? I live in Harrisburg, but would prefer a Rideshare over paying for parking at Harrisburg.

Thank you so much for sharing. My daughters lives in Queens and works in Manhattan. Wife and I have seen a lot around those areas, but haven't ventured to the other 3 boroughs yet. We moved from FL to PA, so our next trip will be Keystone Line instead of having to fly. But now I want to see...

I was in Piedras Negras back in 1968 as a kid. I haven't left the country since. Wife and I retired late 2019, got passports just in time for Covid. We just got both of our shots and are ready to travel. I'm the train nut, she likes planes. Mexico's culture and history have always fascinated me...

Thank you both good to know. I guess for now the future visit across the border will be by air into Mexico City.

Thanks for the reply. Like I said, I'd like to take the train, but not in the dark. I loved leaving San Antonio and see the landscape change, and crossing the Pecos area was just stunning. That's the biggest drawback. Also we'd like to cross into Mexico either at Del Rio or Presidio, and I'll...

My daughter and I flew to San Antonio in 2018, rented a car and journeyed to Alpine as our hub. Went to Ft. Davis, Marfa (Jetts Grill was awesome), & Terlingua. Then onto Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Gallup, Flagstaff, Grand Canyon, hit Sedona on way to Phoenix for the flight home. Great trip, but...

Thank you pennyk. Sounds like a car service is in order. I didn't even think about the farmers market. That would not be good having to turn back toward home - at least an extra hour down & back!

My wife & I are planning a trip to NYC. Possibly departing at Winter Park,FL Amtrak Station, catching the Silver Meteor. At this time I have no one to drop us off/pick us up. I know some of you folks are familiar with WPK, is parking a vehicle Saturday to Thursday possible? I'll likely call a...

If it's just you I doubt you'll have a choice, but speak up if you have a preference. I had a seatmate the entire trip. He got off the train after me. I was seated before him in the Florida car at NYP, so I think they wanted a single beside me that was getting off the train further down the...

Haha - yes 3 ft! Should have brought the 6 footer. Assumed boarding at origin (NYP) I'd get a window seat. Never assume! My seatmate was cool though so it was on his seatback & I used my ipad. Occasional texts & Google maps to see our location. Great trip.

I had the pleasure of riding the Meteor from NYP to Winter Park FL (WPK) last month. I was assigned the aisle seat, and the one takeaway would have been to have an extension cord for my phone. My cord was only long enough to put in my seatmates area under his tray, or it would have stretched...
