"Hi everyone, I'm Russ Handler, and I love to travel and I'm sure you do as well. So if you want to book travel from Pittsburgh to New York City, you're going to have a great ride ahead of you. You're going to go through some mountainous areas and you're going to see some beautiful scenery, but I want to let you know that there's two ways you could do it. First of all, there's Amtrak Pennsylvania line, or the Capital Limited. Those are the two that I recommend, actually the only lines available from Pittsburgh to New York. So what you want to do is plan your trip in advance. Go to Amtrak's website, if you're not online, call 1-800-USA-RAIL and keep in mind that if you choose the Capital Limited option, you're going to have to go through Washington DC first. That's going to add a little time to the trip. You could go direct through the Pennsylvania line with some stops in between, and that's what I recommend depending on how much time you have, and how much time you want to spend in the train. Either way you get to go through Pittsburgh, you get to go through the Amish portions of Pennsylvania. And it's a really, really nice trip. Book online, make sure that you have your reservation number when you get to the Amtrak station for whichever line that you choose, and then keep in mind you want to travel as lightly as possible, definitely have your driver's license and ID with you, and enjoy your ride. I'm Russ Handler, and that's how you do it."
