The track improved last night but now and again, the train rocked!!
Breakfast was a pre packaged affair! To save costs, no chefs are employed on trains east of the Mississippi! Trump wanted to close down all trains west of the Mississippi -we’ll be doesn't believe in global warming!!! As for his supporters - we haven’t met one on any train!
Our first stop this morning was Erie but not a lake to be seen!! We continued to Buffalo
the jumping off point for Niagara Falls, where we arrived by Greyhound bus so many years ago.
The terrain is waterlogged, the area forested with the trees wearing their autumnal colours.
We continued to Syracuse
The landscape remained the same. We followed the Mowhak River for a time
Then a brief stop at Schenectady
Next stop Albany - one hour’s stop here!!!
From Albany to NYC, we travelled close to the Hudson River.
It was very picturesque:
numerous bridges traverse the River
houses with magnificent views
and West Point - all located on the opposite bank of the River.
