Leave the city’s bustle behind as you settle into our historic Pullman car for the Hudson Valley Hop: NYC to Albany, a relaxed northbound escape designed for travelers seeking classic rail elegance at an inviting price. Your experience begins in style with access to Amtrak’s First Class Lounge in New York City, where you can enjoy refreshments and amenities before boarding. Soon the skyline fades and the Hudson River appears, calm and silvery beside the tracks, guiding you past charming riverside towns, wooded hillsides, and grand estates from another era. Watch for the legendary West Point rising proudly above the shoreline, the storied Roosevelt homestead nestled among the trees, and stone castles that hint at Gilded Age grandeur. As the train approaches Poughkeepsie, the great bridge spans the horizon, offering one of the valley’s most memorable views.
Throughout the journey, attentive staff provide first-class service with complimentary hors d’oeuvres, snacks, beverages, and onboard Wi-Fi, so you can relax in historic comfort while staying connected if you wish. This short yet enchanting ride is the perfect introduction to private rail travel where timeless luxury, scenic beauty, and the gentle rhythm of the rails turn a simple trip into a memorable Hudson Valley experience.

We operate a historic railcar that's available for use throughout the United States. We offer scheduled and chartered vintage railway travel experiences. The Colonial Crafts was built in 1949 for the Pennsylvania Railroad. It has four bedrooms, each with a private bathroom. There is a shower at the end of the hall, a small kitchen, and a very large lounge area that comfortably seats 20 people during daytime travel.

The Pullman Company assigned this car to Elvis Presley in 1960 after he returned from military service overseas. He used the car to travel from New Jersey to Graceland, and then on to Los Angeles where he completed filming his movie, “G. I. Blues”.
