About your trip

Depart 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.

About your organizer

We operate a historic railcar that's available for use throughout the United States. We offer scheduled and chartered vintage railcar experiences. The Colonial Crafts was built in 1949 for the Pennsylvania Railroad as a three double bedroom, one drawing room, buffet kitchen, lounge. We can sleep nine passengers and seat twenty in the lounge. Elvis rode the car in March 1960 from DC to Memphis after returning from military service overseas. He then rode the car out to Los Angeles a couple weeks later to shoot the picture G. I. Blues.
