Discover the journey
Green Mountain Getaway
Departs from New York, NY (NYP) and arrives in Burlington, VT (BTN)
Enjoy approximately 8 hours onboard
Not every extraordinary journey needs an overnight stay. Leave Manhattan with a welcome reception onboard and spend the day in a private railcar, with the river and the mountains passing slowly by.
Lunch is served as you leave the city behind. Dinner is a formal affair, prepared by your executive chef and set with the Vermont hills just beyond the glass. In the right season, the foliage is already turning. By the time you arrive on the shores of Lake Champlain, the day has felt like a week away.
One day, one lake, and a railcar that is entirely your own.
Itinerary
- New York, NYDay 1 | Board in New York
Settle into your private railcar under the heart of Manhattan and enjoy a welcome reception as the train slips under the city and rolls north towards upstate New York.
Lunch
- Hudson Highlands, NYDay 1 | Bear Mountain Bridge
The train hugs the river's east bank as the Hudson narrows into a fjord-like gorge, with steep, forested mountains rising on both sides. In late September the foliage starts turning.
- Pollepel Island, NYDay 1 | Bannerman's Castle
Ruins of an early 1900s military-surplus warehouse that looks like a Scottish castle, sitting on a small island in the middle of the river. It is one of the most photographed sights on the Hudson Line.

A former railroad bridge, now the world's longest elevated pedestrian bridge, spans the river about 212 feet above the water. It appears ahead as the train approaches Poughkeepsie.
