Back a long time ago I used to take Amtrak from Albany NY to NY City or Plattsburgh regularly, the trip was fairly relaxing and usually on time.
My boss used to get irked about my taking the train to Plattsburgh, until I pointed out that everyone else always took it to NY City and drove to Plattsburgh, and flew to Syracuse, and that the differential in travel times did not make a great deal of sense. After all, the trip to NY City was a shorter drive than the train, and the drive to NY was shorter than the drive to Plattsburgh, not to mention Syracuse.
Taking the train to Plattsburgh also allowed me to check a company car out of the motor pool, which added enough hours of use for them to justify one more car on the roster.
I have been a rail fan since I was a kid, but Amtrak has not gotten any business from me in years, just because of their anti-right policy.
