Chug Into Scenic Summer Escapes On Amtrak Berkshire Flyer

Amtrak is reviving its beloved Berkshire Flyer, promising even more adventure and scenic beauty this summer.

Friday afternoons, you board in NYC, making stops at charming stations along the way like Poughkeepsie and Hudson before reaching Pittsfield later that night. Come Sunday, it's back to the city, departing Massachusetts in the afternoon and arriving at Penn Station just before 8 p.m. The journey, spanning over four hours, promises breathtaking views and unforgettable experiences.

Running from June 21 to September 2, this seasonal service shuttles passengers between New York City's Moynihan Train Hall and Pittsfield, Massachusetts.

This year introduces a Sunday morning departure, perfect for early risers. Departing from New York at 10:50 a.m., you'll arrive in Pittsfield by 3:15 p.m., ready to start your day of exploration.

Amtrak's Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer, Eliot Hamlisch, expresses his enthusiasm, stating,

The Berkshire Flyer provides a comfortable and fun way for our guests to visit the Berkshire Mountains, all while enjoying unmatched scenery that you can only experience on America’s Railroad.

Onboard, choose between coach seats with reading lights and electric outlets or indulge in business class for extra legroom and complimentary beverages. Stay connected with free Wi-Fi and bring your furry companions along for the ride.

Tickets for the Berkshire Flyer are available on Amtrak.com, the Amtrak app, or by phone at 1-800-USA-RAIL. Prepare to embark on a journey filled with scenic splendor and unforgettable moments.
