Here are some photos from my Amtrak trip. Today I did a lot of walking around, some shopping. Ate the perfect pain du matin muffin at Sarabeth bakery, served w/ a side of attitude. Had an overpriced cocktail at the hotel bar, something w/ Hibiscus syrup in it.
This was the old passenger train station in Buffalo. It was disheartening to see all the abandoned factories and other relics left behind by America's post industrial contraction in manufacturing.
This is the current Amtrak station... smaller and more practical, but not the same in terms of glamour. After Buffalo we continued into a part of New York called the Mohawk valley that was small towns and beautiful scenery.
That's 4 down...

Interesting pictures. I've wanted to take a trip, chronicling America's post-industrial contraction (good phrase). Amtrak may be the way to go! Much of the blight seems to be along railroad tracks.
