It's bottled as opposed to "potable" ... southbound, it's city water from Syracuse which isn't all that bad (hint of chlorine, but not much) and northbound from NYC, it's NYC water ... MANY cars (besides business class) now have electrical outlets depending on the consist, but you may have to walk through a few before you spot one ...I've DONE business class, and there's a bit more legroom, but the legroom on the AMcans ain't so bad either. HERE is what you REALLY need to consider ... between ALBANY and NYC, the train usually MOVES. Between SYR and ALB however, you're at the mercy of CSX freight ... and sometimes you can be MORE than an hour late due to it. Comfort while you're sitting on a siding is the key ... and no, hate to say it, business class on Empire is probably NOT worth the extra expense. However, you're GAMBLING in "coach" as to which cars in the consist actually HAVE outlets under the windows. MANY do on the "Lake Shore" and other "west of Smallbany trains" anyway ... but it's a roll of the dice. Be governed accordingly. :) |
