Great video! I love the Keystone Service! Guess what? No Cafe car on that train it’s all Coach! The only trains that have Cafe cars is the Acela, Northeast Regional, Silver Service, Crescent, Cardinal and More

I always loved Mister Roger's Neighborhood. Thanks for the memories. 🙌

[@kevinhoward9593]

$26? cant beat that.

[@Leon-fp3ci]

What station did u get on for Philly and which one did u get off for NYC ? And I’m guessing u took same train back ?

[@Flushing2Fishtown]

30th Street Station in Philly and New York Penn Station for NYC

Wow, how far in advance did you have to book in order to pay only $26?

[@Flushing2Fishtown]

I actually bought the ticket four days in advance, but keep in mind it was for a midday train on a Thursday. Weekend tickets, you're usually looking at least 3 weeks out if you want to spend $26 or less, unless you don't mind traveling late at night or early in the morning.

@@Flushing2Fishtown - Very interesting. Thanks for the information. Still, I will probably continue to take NJ Transit / SEPTA, simply because I can take my bike on board, which I could not do on Amtrak's Keystone service or Northeast Corridor service without taking the bike's front wheel off. But, oh, boy do I miss Bolt Bus! Unlike Megabus or Flix Bus or any other company, Bolt Bus had the policy of letting a passenger put a bike in the bus's cargo hold. Anyway, if I ever want to go to Philly without my bike, I'll remember to look into the Keystone service.
