"Hi everyone, I'm Russ Handler, and, you know, traveling from Boston to New York via rail is a great way to go. Three to four hours, it's relaxing and a real pleasurable trip. If you want to book travel in this area, from Boston to New York it's pretty simple. I suggest you call 1-800-USA-RAIL, or go to Amtrak's website. You're going to find that there are several daily departures between the two cities, Monday through Friday and then one departure on Saturday and Sunday. So what you want to do is go to their website, choose the departure that you want out of Boston to head to New York, choose the route you want because there's two separate services, and then you want to buy your tickets. When you buy your tickets, keep your reservation number and you can then go to a quick pick up kiosk at the train station, put in your reservation number and a couple other details and then you'll get to print out your ticket. A couple things to keep in mind, it's a somewhat of a short trip, between four, three or rather between four and five hours, but you want to bring some light snacks on board to keep you company. I'm Russ Handler and that's how you do it."
