    1968 NYC Empire Service schedule

    I found this schedule dated back to 1968, I am so curious what made Amtrak to eliminate the night owl trains to upstate NY? If they didn't, people like us would have more choices to get down to NYC or back to Buffalo or beyond. Credit to the picture was posted by ESPA.
