The new 2025/2026 edition of New York By Rail is out now with a special emphasis on the state's culinary treasures, highlighting all the best ways to use Amtrak service to explore the best places to eat, shop, and stay anywhere in the state.
“Once again, we are proud to partner with Amtrak to publish this beautiful guide that has all the bells and whistles—everything you need to know in order to plan an Amtrak getaway,” says Tom Martinelli, publisher of the award-winning New York By Rail, created by Content Studio New York. “At a time when flying is a bit stressful, we hope it inspires more folks to think about the train, hop aboard Amtrak and explore all the reachable destinations throughout New York, Vermont and Canada.”
Martinelli says this year’s 20th Anniversary Edition takes you on a delectable culinary journey through New York, a treat for the foodies in your life, and explores the best places to land everything from diners and donuts to hot dogs and hot wings. New York By Rail features a calendar of exciting events that you can get to by train. The guide includes a route map and station services guide to thirty-seven Amtrak stops and connecting bus service along Amtrak’s Adirondack, Empire Service, Ethan Allen Express and Maple Leaf routes. Whether you’re looking to take in a minor league baseball game in Syracuse, visit a museum in Montreal, sink into a spa in Saratoga or explore some brew pubs in Rutland, Vermont, get there on Amtrak -- featuring wide, reclining seats with ample legroom, no middle seats, and convenient schedules.

"It is an honor to be recognized by the Rail Passengers Association for my efforts to strengthen and expand America’s passenger rail. Golden spikes were once used by railroads to mark the completion of important rail projects, so I am truly grateful to receive the Golden Spike Award as a way to mark the end of a career that I’ve spent fighting to invest in our country’s rail system. As Chair of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, it has been my priority to bolster funding for Amtrak, increase and expand routes, look to the future by supporting high-speed projects, and improve safety, culminating in $66 billion in new funding in the Bipartisan infrastructure Law."
