Train Trip: Amtrak Pennsylvanian New York City to Pittsburgh (NYP-PGH)

Hey guys! Welcome FINALLY back to another train trip video! Today, I'm traveling on Amtrak's Pennsylvanian route from New York City to Pittsburgh! The Pennsylvanian is a 9+ hours journey down the state of New Jersey and across the entire state of Pennsylvania crossing 444 miles in total. The first part takes you down from NYC to Philadelphia on their NE Corridor Line, followed by the Keystone Service Line from Philadelphia to Harrisburg, and finally the Pittsburgh Line from Harrisburg to Pittsburgh on Norfolk Southern's tracks. This last part is by far the most scenic part of the Pennsylvanian and also the longest and most delay-prone section (to say it lightly). Throughout most of the country, Amtrak uses freight company tracks from NS to CSX to Union Pacific to BNSF, so they always give priority to their trains first. Because of that, we unfortunately were delayed over an hour due to slow moving NS trains ahead of us and so on and so forth. Besides the delay, I found the rest of the train journey to be very good. The cabin, while older, is very classy with very comfortable seats and power outlets. There's also free WiFi and the attendants were all chill, even the one that asked to not be shown on camera. Speaking of which, the cafe car didn't allow passengers to use its tables which does kind of ruin the experience a bit. But overall, had a great time. Hope you guys enjoy!!
