"Hi everyone, I'm Russ Handler, and did you know booking travel from Penn Station in New York City to Pittsburgh via rail is a lot of fun, it's even a great history lesson. You get to go through Harrisburg and you get to see a lot of great stuff along the way. Now it's up to about a nine minute - a nine hour trip rather, so I'm going to suggest that you call 1-800-USA-RAIL to book this travel, or like I always like to do, go to their website. There you'll have all the options that you need to upgrade your seating to either first class or business class, keep in mind there's two routes. One route will take you southward to Washington DC, then to Pittsburgh, a little bit longer. Or you could go direct, the train leaves Penn Station in New York daily before noon, every single day, and about nine hours later you can be in Pittsburg if you take the direct route. Again I want to recommend that you take your rail travel very seriously. When you book your travel online, you could then pick up your ticket at the Amtrak office but you will need your reservation number to get that done so keep that in mind. Travel lightly, pack some light snacks to save a little money, on the train, and enjoy the ride, it's going to be a good one. I'm Russ Handler, and that's how you do it."
