November 13, 2020Content Studio Publishes 2020/2021 Edition of Amtrak’s New York By Rail Magazine
The 2020/2021 edition of New York By Rail, an official Amtrak publication for 17 years running, published early fall by Content Studio @ Martinelli Custom Publishing. The 100-page magazine includes a letter from Amtrak’s President & CEO; top picks of places to visit in 14 destinations, including 3 that service the Capital Region – Albany-Rensselaer, Schenectady & Saratoga; major annual events, Amtrak special offers and resources; a feature article about 48 Hours in Saratoga Springs written by Brien and Cindy Hollowood plus other articles about Lighthouses on the Hudson, Birding Trails, Montréal Family Fun and Recommendations from New York City Hotel Concierges; as well as a route map and station services guide to 37 Amtrak stops in New York, western Vermont and Canada reachable via Amtrak’s Adirondack, Empire Service, Ethan Allen Express and Maple Leaf service routes.
The release of New York By Rail was delayed from late spring to fall to coincide with the recent restoration of most New York State Amtrak service and summer ridership increases. Amtrak service in New York and across the nation was scaled back in March 2020 due to COVID-19 and ridership plunged significantly. 100,000 copies of New York By Rail will be distributed at Amtrak owned stations, including New York Penn Station; New York State Thruway Rest Areas; Tourist Information Centers; mailings; and other targeted outlets. New York By Rail, a mainstay onboard New York State Amtrak trains through since 2005 is temporarily not being distributed on Amtrak trains due to new COVID-19 safety measures enacted by Amtrak.
