‘Tis the season of weekend getaways and Amtrak is making things way easier with its Berkshire Flyer, a seasonal passenger rail service between New York City and the Berkshires.
Launched last July, the Berkshire Flyer returns for the 2023 summer season with service running each weekend from Friday, May 26 through Monday, October 9. Trains depart from New York Penn Station at 3:16pm on Fridays and arrive at Joseph Scelsi Intermodal Transportation Center in Pittsfield, Massachusetts at 7:12pm. (Yes, specific, we know.) Return trains depart Pittsfield each Sunday at 3pm and arrive back in New York City at 7:05pm.
