Hello all,
I've already found plenty of great information on here re travelling in Amtrak, but still had a couple of questions about an upcoming trip on the Maple Leaf.....The only trains I've travelled on in the US are the NYC subway and the Maine narrow gauge railway....
I have read on a couple of threads on here that there are passport/document checks at Penn Station pre departure, but can't find anything on the Amtrak website, apart from check in times when leaving Canada. We have booked Business Class seats for a Saturday morning departure and intend on using Red Caps to get us on board a little sooner, so I presume arriving at Penn 45-60 minutes before will be sufficient??
Does anyone also have any food recommendations at Penn Station that will be so early on a Saturday morning? We only arrive from the UK in the early evening, so we have barely 12 hours in Manhattan before catching the train so I'm planning our brief stay down to the last minute!
Any info/hints/tips gratefully appreciated!
