We went on the AMTRAK TRAIN from CHICAGO, IL to BUFFALO, NY.

Thank you very much for the upload, and good luck with your KZbin channel.

@@osnat057 that’s so sweet of you to say! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend.

There's a train that goes directly to the Falls. That's one heck of an Uber ride

[@olsenkated]

@@Alexandria01 what?!? Wish we had known that. The train company setup the package including hotel accommodation and they didn’t mention anything about another train that could have connected us to the falls. Bummer. Maybe next time 🤷🏼‍♀️ thanks for the tip!

How did you get from Depew to Niagara Falls? Uber to the airport and rent a car? You can connect to the Maple Leaf to Niagara Falls.

[@olsenkated]

We did an Uber or a taxi the whole way to Niagara.

[@isaacgodfrey7259]

How did you get from the Buffalo-Depew station (where you got off the train) to Niagara Falls?

[@olsenkated]

We used the Uber app to book a ride.

The Untouchables stairs 😮

[@olsenkated]

The stairway shootout! It wasn’t as eventful when we were there 😂

[@mrdonvito7963]

Was it a one stop?

[@jakethesnake8327]

There’s multiple stations on the way to Buffalo and idk about our different stations here in Buffalo

[@geertmarien9076]

That cool bridge type is called a "Bascule Bridge" ... quite a number of them on North American Railroads, many still operating., though the one you saw is not.

[@olsenkated]

That is so awesome! Now I super want to see one operating!

[@rdm925]

So you "Shuffled Off To Buffalo!!"🤣🤣

[@olsenkated]

Well that’s a flash back to 1933!

[@Stylishlady6]

How much total time did it take to reach Buffalo from Chicago ?

[@olsenkated]

It was overnight, one night.

[@Steve-tj9on]

I'm taking the train directly to Niagara Falls from MD. It's only the next train stop.

[@olsenkated]

Have a great trip! Still a neat experience, no matter how far you are going.

Buffalo native here. Glad I found this video. Real cool. Yeah, Lakeshore Limited is a great train but they need to bring back full traditional dining service though. The vacation package is managed by Amtrak Vacations, which is not owned/operated by Amtrak but contracts with them. It's a great deal sometimes. From Niagara Falls to NYC, we have 4 trains daily going east and west and add the LSL trip too. I see you were placed in the older sleeper car so next time ask for the new one because it's fresher and more cleaner. Try bedroom next time, the size is 2X bigger and it has private bathroom/shower inside. The diner car you went in is the new one and it's a big improvement. At least you both had fun and enjoy the trip though. If you need any help for future trips to NY State, give me holla and I'll be glad to hook you up. Also I own a website you can check for future references: amtraktimetable.com and it has all information you need for future trips. Also, the better easy to use Amtrak tracker can be found at transitdocs.com. Enjoy!

This is all awesome information. Sorry that I didn’t see it right away. We’ve been super busy with home remodeling projects. We’d love to go on another train trip! (And obviously we’re new at train travel and could use all the help!) we have two dogs (each weighing around 35 lbs) is there any way to travel with them on a train? I saw a lot of trains have a maximum weight limit of 30 lbs for dogs.
