Enjoy the cornucopia of color of the Appalachian Mountains while riding in style in a Pullman railcar! Adventure along the scenic path of the historic Broadway Limited passenger train. Your ticket price includes all your meals, hors d'oeuvres, snacks, and beverages. You have free access to the Amtrak VIP lounge in New York Penn Station before you board the Colonial Crafts. Guests need to arrange for their own overnight accommodations while in Pittsburgh. Due to popular demand for our Autumn Adventure trip, this Pittsburgh Limited has been added as an advanced section, one week before. This trip is on the 10th-12th so you have two nights and one full day to enjoy Pittsburgh.
Make 2026 a year to remember. Experience Pennsylvania’s heritage and Pittsburgh’s unique blend of grit and grandeur, all with Pullman comfort. Enjoy historic luxury with personal attention by our on-board servers. You can tailor this incredible trip as desired: 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.
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. In Harrisburg, you will cross the Susquehanna River on the world’s longest stone arch bridge. Further west, marvel at the engineering of the famous Horseshoe Curve, a breathtaking sweep of track carved into the Allegheny Mountains.
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, or 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. On Sunday the city will be buzzing with excitement: you can witness the Pittsburgh Steelers host the Indianapolis Colts at Acrisure Stadium for a 1:00 PM kickoff. Enjoy the sophisticated sounds of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra performing "Everything I Know: The Music of Lin-Manuel Miranda" at Heinz Hall, or cap off your evening at 7:00 PM with a high-energy performance by Chance the Rapper at Citizens Live at The Wylie as part of his "Coloring Book 10 Year Anniversary Tour."
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 lard fried 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.
Sit back, relax and enjoy the splendid fall colors as you ride in 1950's style through the Appalachian Mountains.
