点评:The total for our family of 6 to go on the Fall “Gateway” train from Utica to Thendara and back from 11:30-4:30 on October 12, 2026 was $330. Our views were underwhelming, the train windows were filthy. There was not a single working bathroom in any of the cars and they were all backed up and really smelly. We weren’t allowed off the train at Thendara when the train reversed to return to Utica. The only decent views were from a “viewing car” originally designed to transport cattle. Do yourself a favor and spend $40 in gas and drive yourselves to Old Forge instead. Then you will have freedom to go outside and enjoy the weather at your leisure. Driving yourself would also allow the freedom to enjoy lunch at a restaurant (the dining car offers only drinks and processed junk - menu pic attached below).
翻译:2026年10月12日11:30至16:30,我们一家六口乘坐“Gateway”专列从尤蒂卡前往滕达拉再返回,总费用为330美元。沿途景色平淡无奇,列车车窗也脏得不堪入目。所有车厢里都没有一个能正常使用的卫生间,而且全都堵塞不堪、臭气熏天。当列车掉头返回尤蒂卡时,我们甚至不被允许在滕达拉下车。唯一能欣赏到不错景色的机会,是在那节原本用来运送牲畜的“观景车厢”里。为自己着想吧,花40美元加点油,然后自己开车去奥尔德福奇。这样你们就能自由地出门,随心享受好天气了。自己开车还能随时在餐厅享用午餐(列车上的餐车只提供饮料和加工过的垃圾食品——菜单图片见下方)。
