This fall, New Yorkers and those visiting the city will be able to take a trip back in time on a historic train car that was once part of 20th Century Limited. The railway line, which has featured in the musical On The Twentieth Century, used to run between New York and Chicago.
In October, its last remaining passenger car, the Hickory Creek, will make a shorter voyage to Albany and back. Joining it will be another vintage train car, named the Tavern-Lounge No 43, in three highly-anticipated day trips, as per Time Out New York.

Passengers can choose from two “classes of service,” the first for US$299, which buys you a ticket on the Hickory Creek with a four-course meal prepared by a chef onboard. Beer and wine will also be available throughout the journey, so it’ll feel extra luxe. Guests will also be able to tour the Tavern-Lounge No 43 during the return trip.
For a more affordable option, the US$149 ticket allows you to ride on the Tavern-Lounge No 43 car, which has 28 lounge seats as well as diner-style seating and a bar. Passengers will be served catered sandwiches and sides, buffet-style.
All trips will depart from the newly-constructed Moynihan Train Hall, at which passengers will have access to Amtrak’s new Metropolitan Lounge. Thinking of travelling like aristocrats of the past? Tickets go on sale August 20 here.
