"There's a train that carries passengers across the state of Pennsylvania and through what is arguably one of the most beautiful winter landscapes in the United States. The route operated by Amtrak covers 444 miles and takes nearly 9.5 hours to complete, but the chance to see the beauty of America's northeastern winter is unmatched - especially from the warmth and comfort of the train's cars."
"The route is appropriately called the "Pennsylvanian" and takes travelers westward from New York City's Moynihan Train Hall in Manhattan toward Pittsburgh, often cited as one of the 10 most beautiful cities in the country. Along the way, more than a dozen stops provide ample opportunity to see small towns, rural communities, and frozen landscapes full of ice-filled rivers, lakes, and gorges."
Amtrak's Pennsylvanian runs 444 miles from New York City's Moynihan Train Hall to Pittsburgh in about 9.5 hours, traveling through New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. The route passes small towns, rural communities, and frozen rivers, lakes, and gorges, with service largely during daylight hours to maximize winter views from the train windows. West of Altoona the line climbs the Allegheny Mountains and follows a horseshoe pattern that includes a 180-degree turn offering views of the train looping around the famous curve. Onboard amenities include café service, free Wi-Fi, baggage service, and a pet policy allowing dogs and cats under a combined 20 pounds including carrier.
