Amtrak Lake Shore Limited Sections Joining and Splitting at Rensselaer

Amtrak's Lake Shore Limited runs between New York, NY and Chicago, IL and Boston, MA and Chicago, IL, with the middle of the route being at Albany-Rensselaer, NY. In this video, we first ride from Boston, MA to Buffalo, NY, watching the train combine at Rensselaer, then we ride from Buffalo, NY to New York, NY, watching the train split at Rensselaer. Other examples of Amtrak trains making moves like this include the Texas Eagle and Sunset Limited at San Antonio, TX, and the Empire Builder at Spokane, WA. The platform and track arrangement at Rensselaer gives passengers a front row seat to watch it all happen. Enjoy the video and let me know in the comments below if you would watch from the platform, or stay in your seat or your room while these moves are made.
