Take in the cornucopia of color the Appalachian Mountains has to offer while riding in style in a Pullman railcar! Adventure along the scenic path of The Pennsylvanian, tracing one of America’s most storied rail corridors. Journey from New York City and watch the urban skyline of Philadelphia fade into the rolling hills of Pennsylvania’s Dutch Country. Pass through Lancaster County’s picturesque Amish farmland where horse-drawn buggies share the fields with working farms and roll by the stately dome of Pennsylvania’s capital in Harrisburg. Further west, marvel at the engineering wonder of the world-famous Horseshoe Curve, a breathtaking sweep of track nestled into the Allegheny Mountains before crossing river valleys and wooded ridges that change with every mile. This trip takes place one weekend before the York TCA Train Show! While this journey offers a single-day stopover in Pittsburgh, you might also love our Pittsburgh Limited the previous weekend. It is perfect for guests who prefer two full days to explore the city.

When you arrive in Pittsburgh, the “Steel City” greets you with a skyline of shimmering bridges and a rich blend of old industry and new energy. Spend your day exploring architectural icons like the soaring Cathedral of Learning, dive into regional history at the Heinz History Center, catch a game or take in the view at PNC Park, and ride the historic incline up Mount Washington for stunning city vistas. Stroll across the iconic Three Sisters Bridges, wander the lively Strip District for local shops and street eats, or visit the Andy Warhol Museum to celebrate one of Pittsburgh’s most famous sons.

As you make your way westward aboard the Pullman car to Pittsburgh, each meal reflects the culinary traditions of the Northeast and Appalachia. Snacks and starters include local favorites like Turkey Hill potato chips and hearty haluski, a buttery cabbage and noodle dish served in refined portions. For lunch, savor kielbasa with sauerkraut or a fork-and-knife version of the iconic Primanti Brothers-style sandwich stacked high with potato salad.

Evening meals may feature homestyle dishes such as Pennsylvania Dutch chicken pot pie, presented elegantly with fresh vegetables and a savory broth. For dessert, indulge in a rich brown sugar filled shoofly pie, handheld chocolate chip cookies, or a sweet slice of the city’s beloved burnt almond torte. Each item is selected for its deep regional roots and served in a way that complements the elevated atmosphere of first-class rail travel.

Make your 2027 a year to remember with this once in a lifetime trip. You are able to tailor your trip however you like. A truly inspiring way to experience Pennsylvania’s heritage and Pittsburgh’s unique blend of grit and grandeur, all with Pullman comfort. Guests can tailor this trip as they desire: get on or off the train at any Amtrak station between New York City and Pittsburgh. The pricing for each segment remains the same regardless of where you board or disembark. If you purchase a one-way ticket, you can easily coordinate the other half of your journey via Amtrak or airplane. Your ticket price includes all of your meals, along with hors d'oeuvres, snacks, and beverages. Enjoy historic luxury with personal care by our on-board servers. Your ticket also grants you access to the Amtrak VIP lounge in New York to ensure your journey is comfortable from start to finish.

Sit back, relax and enjoy the splendid fall colors as you ride in 1950's style through the Appalachian Mountains.
