  • Amtrak has agreed to temporarily fully restore the popular Empire Service line ahead of the busy holiday travel season, making it easier for New Yorkers to access the Hudson Valley and beyond.

The Amtrak Empire Service line, which connects New York City to Niagara Falls, is set to resume full service starting May 2023. This route, which had been reduced to one daily round trip due to the impacts of the global health crisis, will now offer six daily round trips. The service not only enhances travel options between major cities like New York, Albany, and Buffalo but also provides access to scenic views of the Hudson River Valley and the opportunity to visit Niagara Falls. The return to full service is part of Amtrak's broader recovery and expansion efforts, aiming to meet the increasing demand for rail travel as restrictions ease and tourism rebounds.
