From Montreal to Miami, Amtrak routes from Moynihan Train Hall turn New York City into a launchpad for mountain towns, Southern cities, Canadian culture hubs and classic East Coast destinations - no airport chaos required. Whether you're heading out for a Northeast getaway or a multiday rail ride south or west, Penn Station connects travelers to nearly 160 cities. Here's where each major line can take you and what's worth seeing along the way.

The real magic of crossing that line is not just the immediate sense of spaciousness, but the feeling of a familiar, open-hearted welcome.
