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.
